Loading A Configuration File; Specifying A Backup Configuration File - D-Link DWS-1008 - AirPremier MobileLAN Switch Product Manual

Caution: This command completely removes the running configuration and replaces it with the
configuration contained in the file. D-Link recommends that you save a copy of the 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.

Specifying a Backup Configuration File

In the event that part of the configuration file is invalid or otherwise unreadable, MSS stops reading
information in the configuration file and does not use it. You can optionally specify a backup file to load
if MSS cannot load the original configuration file.
To specify a backup configuration file, use the following command:
set boot backup-configuration filename
To specify a file called backup.cfg as the backup configuration file, use the following command:
DWS-1008# set boot backup-configuration backup.cfg
success: backup boot config filename set.
After enabling this feature, you can specify that a backup configuration file not be used by entering the
following command:
DWS-1008# clear boot backup-config
success: Backup boot config filename was cleared.
