Backing Up The Standalone Configuration - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 5 Configuring Virtual Switching Systems
In the procedures that follow, the example commands assume the configuration shown in
Figure 5-8
Chassis A
(Switch 1)
Two chassis, A and B, are converted into a VSS with virtual switch domain 100. Interface 10-Gigabit
Ethernet 5/1 on Switch 1 is connected to interface 10-Gigabit Ethernet 5/2 on Switch 2 to form the VSL.
The port channels 10 and 20 mentioned in the config steps below are merely exemplary. You can
Note
configure any port channel number from 1-64 for VSL port channel.

Backing Up the Standalone Configuration

Save the configuration files for both switches operating in standalone mode. You need these files to
revert to standalone mode from virtual switch mode.
Perform this task on both switches:
Command
Step 1
Switch-1# copy running-config startup-config
Step 2
Switch-1# copy startup-config
bootflash:old-startup-config
Or
Switch-1# copy startup-config
slot0:old-startup-config
Step 3
Switch-1# copy startup-config
slavebootflash:old-startup-config
Or
Switch-1# copy startup-config
slaveslot0:old-startup-config
