Configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter
Step 5. Reset card to install files
SP Switch Router Adapter Guide - 1.4 Update 2 October 22, 1999 2-35
Step 5. Reset card to install files
To install the SP Switch Router Adapter configuration files, first save the files and then reset the
SP Switch Router Adapter card.
Save the files after you complete the system parameters and again after you configure the
media cards and any network services such as filtering or dynamic routing.
# grwrite -v
# grreset <
card_slot_number

Saving configuration files
Use the grwrite command to save the /etc configuration directory from RAM to the internal
flash device. This preserves the configuration files over a reboot.
# grwrite -v
With the /etc directory saved, use the grsnapshot command to save an alternate version of
the operating software to the internal flash that will be based upon the configuration currently
running on the internal flash device:
# grsnapshot -sP=
revision,version
-dP=
revision,version
In the command, -sP specifies the source as primary internal flash (the SP Switch Router has
only a primary internal flash), and -dp specifies the destination device as the primary internal
flash. A specific configuration is defined as a release and version. For example, if the current
operating release is 1.4.20, then the source might be 1.4.20.ibm,default and you may name the
saved configuration as 1.4.20.ibm,backup.
For more information about these commands, see the GRF Reference Guide.
