Storing and Retrieving Configuration Parameters
77
Activating the
Downloaded
Configuration
When the configuration files are downloaded into flash memory, they
overwrite the previous information. The new parameters are not
activated immediately, but rather after the next reboot when they are
read from the flash memory. The CoreBuilder 7000 assumes that the user
wants to reboot the switch as soon as possible to activate the new
configuration parameters. Therefore, subsequent to a configuration
download, all LMA and SNMP set operations are blocked until the next
reboot – except for the configuration upload/download and reboot
operations.
It is recommended, therefore, to perform a configuration download only
when you are ready to reboot and activate the new parameters.
Cards should not be “hot swapped” after a configuration download until
after the next reboot.
Uploading the
Configuration of a
Card
To store (upload) the configuration of a card installed in the CoreBuilder
chassis from flash memory to disk, first make sure that the switch is
connected to the TFTP server and that it is in single-IP mode and then
perform the following steps:
1
Perform the LMA menu command:
(1) SYS\ (3) LOA \(6) TCU
2
The LMA automatically presents you with a list of the installed cards
whose configuration you can upload to disk, for example:
Module Types:
1<Switch module 7000>
2<Slot 3 - 7600>
3<Slot 4 - 7600>
4<Slot 5 - 7400>
5<Slot 6 - 7200>
Select Module: 1
Select the appropriate card from the list—for example, if you want to
upload the configuration of the active switch card, select 1 from the
menu.

The types of configuration data you can upload are displayed as follows:
File Types:
1<All>
2<Box Profile>
3<ATM Addresses>
4<PNNI Configuration>
5<LANE Security>
6<PVC Connections>
