Backing up and Restoring the Startup Configuration File
If a command that was originally configured to encompass all of the available
modules on the XP becomes only partially active (after a hotswap or some such
chassis reconfiguration), then the status of that command line automatically
changes to indicate a partial completion status, complete with “P:”.
Note: Commands with no annotation or annotated with a “P:” are not in error.
Backing up and Restoring the Startup Configuration File
When you save the startup configuration file, the XP stores it in three places: in the
bootflash and the PC card of the primary control module, and if there is a redundant
control module, in its PC flash card as well.
It is recommended that you store a backup of the startup configuration file in the boot
flash of the control module and on a central server.
Use the copy command to store a backup copy of the startup configuration file in the
control module, backup control module (if applicable), and on a server:
For example, to make a backup in the control module, specify the following command:
Use the file commands to display the configuration files stored in the bootflash of the
control module and if necessary, to delete any of these files:
If the startup file becomes corrupted, the XP uses its default configuration. You can then
use the copy command to copy the backup file to the startup, as shown in the following
example:
copy startup to backup-CM|tftp-server|rcpserver|<filename>|<url>
copy startup to startup.bak
Display a directory of the files in the
bootflash or in the PC card.
file dir <device name>
Display the contents of a file in the bootflash.
file type <file-name>
Delete the specified file.
file delete <file-name>
copy startup.bak to startup
