Returning To Factory Defaults; Using Tftp To Upload The Configuration - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare 7.2e Installation And User Manual

Software Upgrade and Boot Options
NOTE
If the switch is rebooted while in the middle of a configuration save, the switch boots to factory default
settings. The configuration that is not in the process of being saved is unaffected.

Returning to Factory Defaults

To return the switch configuration to factory defaults, use the following command:
unconfigure switch
This command resets the entire configuration, with the exception of user accounts and passwords that
have been configured, and the date and time.
To erase the currently selected configuration image and reset all switch parameters, use the following
command:
unconfigure switch {all}

Using TFTP to Upload the Configuration

You can upload the current configuration to a TFTP server on your network. The uploaded ASCII file
retains the command-line interface (CLI) format. This allows you to:
• Modify the configuration using a text editor, and later download a copy of the file to the same
switch, or to one or more different switches.
• Send a copy of the configuration file to the Extreme Networks Technical Support department for
problem-solving purposes.
• Automatically upload the configuration file every day, so that the TFTP server can archive the
configuration on a daily basis. Because the filename is not changed, the configured file stored in the
TFTP server is overwritten every day.
To upload the configuration, use the following command:
upload configuration [<ip address> | <hostname>] <filename> {every <time>}
where the following is true:
• —Is the IP address of the TFTP server.
ipaddress
• —Is the hostname of the TFTP server. (You must enable DNS to use this option.)
hostname
• —Is the name of the ASCII file. The filename can be up to 255 characters long, and cannot
filename
include any spaces, commas, quotation marks, or special characters.
• —Specifies the time of day you want the configuration automatically uploaded on a
every <time>
daily basis. If not specified, the current configuration is immediately uploaded to the TFTP server.
To cancel a previously scheduled configuration upload, use the following command:
upload configuration cancel
