1 Restore the configuation:
To restore the factory default configuration or the backup configuration, select
the hard disk drive to which you want to restore the system files; either ide0
(drive 0) or ide1 (drive 1) and then do one of the following:
➨
Restore the factory configuration by selecting Restore Factory Configuration,
then click Restore to return the Switch to its original factory default
configuration. This erases data contained in flash memory and also in the
configuration file.
Warning: Selecting this option requires you to rebuild your entire
Switch configuration again from scratch
An online message specifies the result of the Factory Configuration reset
action.
➨
Or you can restore the Switch's previously backed-up configuration by
clicking Restore. If you previously chose to automatically back-up the file
systems, then the Backup Server Host (or IP address) and Path Name, User
ID, and Password appear in the table.
Click the radio button of the preferred backup server. The backed-up file
system, including software image and configuration files, from the latest
backup copy residing on the designated server will be restored onto the hard
drive of your Switch.
You can use the same backup server for multiple Switches. Each Switch
creates a unique directory based on its serial number. The following example
shows the Host, Path, and Serial Number (where the serial number [SN] is
five digits):
C:/software/backup/v101/SN01001
The Serial Number is used to differentiate backup configurations from
multiple Switches that are saved on the same backup server. The Serial
Number uniquely identifies each Switch's backup data.
A blank row in the server backup field always appears to allow you to
manually enter a backup server in case you did not configure automatic
backup server locations.
