restore
Restores configuration settings to an out-of-band switch from a backup file named configdata,
which must be first uploaded on the switch using FTP. You create the backup file using the
Config Backup command. Use FTP to load the backup file on a switch, then enter the
Config Restore command. After the restore is complete, the switch automatically resets. See
”Backing up and restoring switch configurations” on page 111.
NOTE: All management sessions are terminated because the switch is reset. Use the
Set Setup System command to return the IP configuration to the values you want.
NOTE: Configuration archive files created with the McDATA Web Server or McDATA
Element Manager Archive function are not compatible with the Config Restore
command.
save [config_name]
Saves changes made during a configuration edit session in the configuration given by
[config_name]. If you omit [config_name], the value for [config_name] you chose for the most
recent Config Edit command is used. [config_name] can be up to 31 characters excluding #,
semicolon (;), and comma (,). The switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default
configuration.
Notes If you edit the active configuration, changes will be held in suspense until you reactivate the
configuration or activate another configuration.
