DWS-1008 User's Manual
Loading a Configuration File
Caution: This command completely removes the running configuration and replaces it ith the
configuration contained in the file. D-Link recommends that you save a copy of he current
running configuration to a backup configuration file before loading a new configuration.
To load configuration commands from a file into the switch's running configuration, use the
following command:
load config [url]
The default URL is the name of the configuration file loaded after the last reboot. To load a
configuration file named newconfig, type the following command:
DWS-1008# load config newconfig
Reloading configuration may result in lost of connectivity, do you wish to continue? (y/n)
[n]y
success: Configuration reloaded
After you type y, MSS replaces the running configuration with the configuration in the newconfig
file. If you type n, MSS does not load the newconfig file and the running configuration remains
unchanged.
Resetting to the Factory Default Configuration
To reset the switch to its factory default configuration, use the following command:
clear boot config
This command removes the configuration file that the switch searches for after the software
is rebooted.
To back up the current configuration file named configuration and reset the switch to the
factory default configuration, type the following commands:
DWS-1008# copy configuration tftp://10.1.1.1/backupcfg
success: sent 365 bytes in 0.401 seconds [ 910 bytes/sec]
DWS-1008# clear boot config
success: Reset boot config to factory defaults.
DWS-1008# reset system force
...... rebooting ......
The reset system force command reboots the switch. The force option immediately restarts
the system and reboots. If you do not use the force option, the command first compares the
running configuration to the configuration file. If the files do not match, MSS does not restart
the switch but instead displays a message advising you to either save the configuration
changes or use the force option.
