Configuring File System Management

Network Diagram

The section introduces you the operations on file systems of the H3C Series Ethernet Switches, like copy/delete a file, create/delete a directory, etc. So no network requirement is involved.

Networking and Configuration Requirements

In the following example, you will see how to back up the current configuration file to another directory, and restore the file when the system fails.

# Create a directory cfg_bak to back up the configuration file.

<Sysname> mkdir cfg_bak

.

%Created dir flash:/cfg_bak.

# Copy file config.cfg under directory flash to directory cfg_bak.

<Sysname> copy config.cfg flash:/cfg_bak

Copy flash:/config.cfg to flash:/cfg_bak/config.cfg?[Y/N]:y

..

%Copy file flash:/config.cfg to flash:/cfg_bak/config.cfg...Done.

<Sysname>

# Enter directory cfg_bak, and display this directory.

<Sysname> cd cfg_bak

# Rename the file as cfg_20080210.cfg, which marks the backup time. Verify your configuration using the dir command.

<Sysname> rename config.cfg cfg_20080210.cfg

Rename flash:/cfg_bak/config.cfg to flash:/cfg_bak/cfg_20080210.cfg?[Y/N]:y

Restoring the backup configuration file when the settings are wrong

# Return to the upper directory.

<Sysname> cd ..

# Display the current working directory.

<Sysname> pwd

flash:/

# Save the current configuration file as cfg_temp and to the directory cfg_bak.

<Sysname> copy config.cfg flash:/cfg_bak/cfg_temp.cfg

Copy flash:/config.cfg to flash:/cfg_bak/cfg_temp.cfg?[Y/N]:y

...

%Copy file flash:/config.cfg to flash:/cfg_bak/cfg_temp.cfg...Done.

# Permanently delete file config.cfg under directory flash.

<Sysname> delete /unreserved config.cfg

The contents cannot be restored!!! Delete flash:/config.cfg?[Y/N]:y

Deleting a file permanently will take a long time. Please wait...

..

%Delete file flash:/config.cfg...Done.

# Copy file cfg_20080210.cfg under directory cfg_bak to the root directory of Flash, and rename the file as config.cfg.

<Sysname> copy flash:/cfg_bak/cfg_20080210.cfg flash:/config.cfg

Copy flash:/cfg_bak/cfg_20080210.cfg to flash:/config.cfg?[Y/N]:y

...

%Copy file flash:/cfg_bak/cfg_20080210.cfg to flash:/config.cfg...Done.

# Verify your configuration using the dir command.

Configuring Configuration File Management

Network Diagram

The section introduces you the operations on configuration files of the H3C Series Ethernet Switches, like save the configuration, clear the configuration file, and back up files remotely, etc. So no network requirement is involved.

Networking and Configuration Requirements

In the following example, you will see how to save the configuration file, back up files remotely, and specify configuration file for the next boot.

Configuration Procedure

Saving the current configurations and back them up remotely

# Save the current configrations to a file with the default file name config.cfg, and overwrite the existing one.

<Sysname> save

The current configuration will be written to the device. Are you sure? [Y/N]:y

Please input the file name(*.cfg)[flash:/config.cfg]

(To leave the existing filename unchanged, press the enter key):

flash:/config.cfg exists, overwrite? [Y/N]:y

 

Validating file. Please wait...

Now saving current configuration to the device.

Saving configuration flash:/config.cfg. Please wait...

.........

Configuration is saved to flash successfully.

# Back up this configuration file to the TFTP server with IP address 192.168.0.4.

<Sysname> backup startup-configuration to 192.168.0.4

Backup next startup-configuration file to 192.168.0.4, please wait...

finished!

 

 

Keeping several configuration files on the device and specifying one as the startup configuration file for next reboot

# After your operations, save the configurations to a file and name it config_new.cfg. Specify the backup attribute of the file.

<Sysname> save backup

The current configuration will be written to the device. Are you sure? [Y/N]:y

Please input the file name(*.cfg)[flash:/config.cfg]

(To leave the existing filename unchanged, press the enter key):config_new.cfg

 

Validating file. Please wait...

Now saving current configuration to the device.

Saving configuration flash:/config_new.cfg. Please wait...

.......

Configuration is saved to flash successfully.

# Specify the file config.cfg as the startup configuration file for the next reboot.

<Sysname> startup saved-configuration config.cfg main

 

 

# You can restore the backup file on the TFTP server if the current configuration file config.cfg fails during the reboot.

<Sysname> restore startup-configuration from 192.168.0.4 config.cfg

Configuration file config.cfg already exists. Overwrite? [Y/N]:y

Restore next startup-configuration file from 192.168.0.4. Please wait........

finished!
