Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide

You can take a snapshot of the current system configuration of your module to 
produce a backup configuration file or before you carry out a system upgrade. This 
file is saved into the flash directory of the switch.
To take a snapshot of the current system configuration of the switch, use the

system 

snapshot 

command.

To re-activate the configuration file later, use the

flash config

command.

The snapshot command saves all the module’s parameters in the same file 

(system wide, module specific, LANE etc).

LANE parameters only, are automatically saved in the text file config.data. This file 
may also be uploaded and downloaded and can be used to copy a LANE 
configuration from one module to another (in the same or another switch). After 
you have downloaded a new config.data file you need to reset the module manually 
using the <- -> reset pushbuttons on the module front panel in order for the 
information in the new config.data file to take effect (do not use the CLI 

reboot

 

command because this will change the config.data file with its current RAM data). 
During the power-up process the module will use the information stored in the new 
config.data file.

You can return a module to its factory default by the

 system default 

command.  This command returns all parameters to its factory defaults.

To return the entire switch to its factory defaults, type 

system default

 on 

each of the modules and afterwards perform a reset to the entire switch.
