You cannot upload or download configuration parameters to a switch
card while it is installed as a redundant switch card. You need to remove
the card from the chassis, install it in a different switch chassis as the
active switch card and then perform the upload/download operation, as
described below. Afterwards, return the card to its slot in the original
chassis.
The CoreBuilder 7000 allows you to upload selected types of
configuration data. The types of configuration data you can upload
depends on the card you selected. For the switch card, the types of
configuration data you can upload are as follows:
All Configuration Data
Platform Parameters
ATM Addresses
PNNI Configuration
LANE Security
PVC Connections
LECS Topology
LECS Order List
For a CoreBuilder 7X00 card, the data types are as follows:
Platform Parameters
Static
The uploaded configuration files can be named using a naming
convention of your choice. Normally, you will want to include information
about the data type, the card type and a date or other identifier in the file
name. For example, you might use file names like cfg_7000_12jun98 and
static_7600_1.
When you download configuration data from the files on the disk to the
card, you designate the card by its slot number. The slot can contain the
original card from which the data was uploaded, or it can contain
another card of the same type.
If you try to download configuration data which was uploaded from one
type of card type to another type of card, an appropriate error message is
issued.
