The restore operation begins with FTP to upload the configuration file from the 
workstation to the switch, then finishes with a Telnet session and the Config 
Restore command. To upload the configuration file, config_switch_169_10112003 
in this case, open and FTP session with account name images and password 
images. Transfer the file in binary mode with the Put command as shown in the 
following example:

ftp ip_address

user: images

password: images

ftp> bin

ftp> put config_switch_169_10112003 configdata

  Local file config_switch_169_10112003

  Remote file configdata

ftp>quit

The restore process replaces all configuration information on the switch and 
afterwards the switch is automatically reset. If the restore process changes the IP 
address, all management sessions are terminated. Use the 

 

command to return the IP configuration to the values you want. To restore the 
switch, open a Telnet session (a new IP address may be required), then enter the 

 Restore command from within an Admin session as shown in the following 

example:

SANbox #> admin start

SANbox (admin) #> config restore

The switch will be reset after restoring the configuration.
