Saving and Restoring Teaming Configuration

topology and settings. Current configuration including the teams, VLANs, and properties can be saved to a
file. Restoring an earlier configuration results in the destruction of the current configuration.

1. On the Team Management page under Teams and Adapters, right-click the Teams folder.
2. On the shortcut menu, click Save to File.
3. Enter a location to save the configuration.
To restore a configuration:
1. On the Team Management page under Teams and Adapters, right-click the Teams folder.
2. On the shortcut menu, click Restore From File.
3. Select a previously saved configuration file.

qaucli -nic -statport
To reset the Ethernet statistics counter, issue the following command:
qaucli -nic -sreset [cna_port_inst]
To display Ethernet port statistics, issue the following command:
qaucli -nic -statport [cna_port_inst]
To undo the reset of Ethernet statistics counters, issue the following command:
qaucli -nic -sunreset [cna_port_inst]
