Specifying a backup configuration file
In the event that part of the configuration file is invalid or otherwise unreadable, WSS Software stops reading informa-
tion in the configuration file and does not use it. You can optionally specify a backup file to load if WSS Software
cannot load the original configuration file.
To specify a backup configuration file, use the following command:
set boot backup-configuration filename
To specify a file called backup.cfg as the backup configuration file, use the following command:
WSS# set boot backup-configuration backup.cfg
success: backup boot config filename set.
After enabling this feature, you can specify that a backup configuration file not be used by entering the following
command:
WSS# clear boot backup-config
success: Backup boot config filename was cleared.
To display the name of the file specified as the backup configuration file, enter the show boot command. For example:
pubs# show boot
Configured boot version: 4.1.0.60
Configured boot image: boot0:mx040100.020
Configured boot configuration: file:configuration
Backup boot configuration: backup.cfg
Booted version: 4.1.0.60
Booted image: boot0:mx040100.020
Booted configuration: file:configuration
Product model: WSS
Resetting to the factory default configuration
To reset the WSS to its factory default configuration, use the following command:
clear boot config
This command removes the configuration file that the WSS searches for after the software is rebooted.
To back up the current configuration file named configuration and reset the WSS to the factory default configuration,
type the following commands:
WSS# copy configuration tftp://10.1.1.1/backupcfg
success: sent 365 bytes in 0.401 seconds [ 910 bytes/sec]
WSS# clear boot config
success: Reset boot config to factory defaults.
WSS# reset system force
...... rebooting ......
The reset system force command reboots the switch. The force option immediately restarts the system and reboots. If
you do not use the force option, the command first compares the running configuration to the configuration file. If the
