Config back up and restore

[Simon_Vosper]

Hi Could someone please help me with swithc back and restore. I did tftp uplaod of config file and named it new.cfg I then did :tftp get" on to another switch: X670V-48t.2 # ls -rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 64370 May 14 16:40 new.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 64370 May 14 16:50 primary.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 187901 May 14 16:59 secondary.cfg drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 14 17:02 vmt Can someone please tell me why the command "use config new" will not work. I also made a copy of the config called primary.cfg. Put that on the switch too and over wrote the existing primary.cfg. When I reboot (saying no to save config) I just get setup wizard. Thanks Simon

Hey Simon,

Did you upload the configuration via the upload configuration command or tftp put?

If tftp put you essentially have uploaded the configuration as a xml file. If you used the upload config command you are uploading as ASCII.

XML format you can tftp put the .cfg file to a switch and run the "use configuration " command.

However, if you uploaded the configuration as a ASCII format you would need to save this as a .xsf file and download to the switch. Once in the memory "ls" you should see the file with .xsf extension. At that point you must run the command "load script " Then save the configuration.

Let me know if you have any questions.
