Saving Node Configurations for Cisco BPX and Cisco IGX Nodes
You can save node configurations for Cisco BPX or Cisco IGX nodes.
The standard TFTP protocol backs up the Cisco BPX and Cisco IGX node configuration to a network
server other than CWM. The network server is any machine that is connected to a LAN attached to the
network, a TFTP server and disk, and stores configuration files. The configuration files are saved by
using the TFTP method and are restored by using the proprietary method, and so forth. The files are
stored in the correct directory with the correct filenames assumed by the proprietary protocol.
For more information about the TFTP Configuration Save and Restore facility and about the cnfswfunc
command, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference, Release 9.3.30.
Note The CWM ConfigSave and Restore feature must be enabled on the BPX and IGX nodes. When this
option is not enabled, you can not save or restore the configuration from the node.
