Enterasys File Operations Configuration – Part 3

I will explain how to make an Enterasys Switch Backup to backup the configurations on the Enterasys Switch and use it in a negative situation.

Enterasys Switch Directory Listing Command:

dir

Enterasys Switch Backup(Backup Import) Command:

show config outfile configs/backup.conf

Recover Commands on Switch

Opens with this configuration and overwrites the existing configuration, therefore not recommended

configure configs/backup.conf

How to Export Imported Switch Configuration?

With the different command above, the device was backed up to flash and then recovered. However, this method will not work if the device becomes completely unusable. Therefore, the backup file must be exported or the exported backup file must be imported.

The most commonly used method for this is with a TFTP Server. For this you need to install the Tftp software on your computer. My recommendation for TFTP server software here would be the 3Cdaemon program. After downloading it, you only need to specify the registry directory. After that, we will handle it with the console while the service of the Tftp server is open.

Switch Backup Import

(Attention: Make sure that the tftp server is on the same network as the switch):

copy tftp://10.10.10.111/backup.conf system:image

This only serves to copy the file from your computer to the flash of the switch. To boot the backup file we uploaded, let’s run the following command on the console of the Enterasys switch:

set boot system backup.conf

When the device reboots, it will boot with the new conf . You can store up to two image files.

Switch Backup Export

The command to be used to download the configuration running on the switch to your computer via TFTP server;

copy configs/backup.conf tftp://10.10.10.111/backup.conf
