Chapter 15 - Maintenance
All models can be fully managed through the web-based switch configuration utility. GE is the
naming convention used for Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) ports.
In Layer 2 system mode, the device forwards packets as a VLAN-aware bridge.
Reboot
Some configuration changes, such as enabling jumbo frame support, require the system to be
rebooted before they take effect. However, rebooting the device deletes the Running
Configuration, so it is critical that the Running Configuration is saved to the Startup
Configuration before the device is rebooted.
Restore to Factory Defaults
Select to reboot the device by using the factory default configuration. This process erases the
Startup Configuration file and the backup configuration file.
File Management
System files are files that contain configuration information, firmware images or boot code.
Various actions can be performed with these files, such as selecting the firmware file from which
the device boots, copying various types of configuration files internally on the device, or copying
files to or from an external device, such as an external server.
Possible methods of file transfer:
•
Internal copy
•
HTTP/HTTPS that uses the facilities that the browser provides
TFTF client, requiring a TFTP server
•
Configuration files on the device are defined by their type, and contain the settings and
parameter values for the device.
When a configuration is referenced on the device, it is referenced by its configuration file type
(such as Startup Configuration or Running Configuration), as opposed to a file name that can be
modified by the user.
