3.1.2 Loading from a file
The device allows you to load the configuration data from a file in the
connected network if there is no AutoConfiguration Adapter connected to the
device.
Select the
Basics: Load/Save dialog.
In the “Load” frame, click
“from URL” if you want the device to load the configuration data from a file and
retain the locally saved configuration.
“from URL & save to Switch” if you want the device to load the configuration data
from a file and save this configuration locally.
“via PC” if you want the device to load the configuration data from a file on the PC
and retain the locally saved configuration.
In the “URL” frame, enter the path under which the device will find
the configuration file, if you want to load from the URL.
Click “Restore”.
Note: When restoring a configuration using one of the options in the
“Load” frame, note the following particulars:
The device can restore the configuration from a binary or script file:
– The option “from Device” restores the configuration exclusively from the device-
internal binary file.
– The 3 options “from URL”, “from URL and save to Device” or “via PC” can restore
the configuration both from a binary file and from a script file. The script file can
be an offline configuration file (*.ocf) or a CLI script file (*.cli). The device
determines the file type automatically.
When restoring the configuration from a script file, you first delete
the device configuration so that the default settings are overwritten
correctly. For further information (see on page 60 “Resetting the
configuration to the state on delivery”)
The URL identifies the path to the tftp server from which the device
loads the configuration file. The URL is in the format
tftp://IP address of the tftp server/path name/file name
(e.g. tftp://10.1.112.5/switch/config.dat).
