Switching

Hello,

I used filezilla to copy the config of another switch.  

show | display set | display inheritance | save /var/tmp/config_backup.txt

I now have the txt file.  I've changed the switch name and the snmp name and the ip address and would like to copy it to my next switch.

What should I name it?

What folder should I copy it to on the switch?

How to I make it the production config?

copy the file to any folder such as /var/tmp

enter config mode

delete <<< this removes all current config

request load set /var/tmp/myfilename.txt

Hi jimbo55,

@spuluka is right, you can copy the file to any folder and then load the config file saved in "set" format. Slight correction to the load command, it doesn't need a "request" preceding it i.e. it's just like:

edit
delete
load set /var/tmp/config_backup.txt
show | compare
commit

Hope this helps.

Regards,
-r.

I just want to add a coupe of details to Steve Puluka's answer,

It will be recommended to copy the file to /var/tmp

then the next 2 steps are fine,

enter to config mode (> edit)

run "delete" to delete the whole config

But in order to load the config the command will be "load set" no need for that initial "request"

# load set /var/tmp/config.txt

Also I would like to add that you can run this command "show configuration | display set | no-more" and either log the session or copy and paste the output to a text editor to quickly get the config file without using filezilla
