● primary—Specifies the primary saved configuration
● secondary—Specifies the secondary saved configuration
● existing-config—Specifies an existing user-defined configuration (displays a list of available user-
defined configuration files)
● new-config—Specifies a new user-defined configuration
You are then prompted to save the changes. Enter
y to save the changes or n to cancel the process.
To use the configuration, use the following command:
use configuration [primary | secondary | <file_name>]
Where the following is true:
● primary—Specifies the primary saved configuration
● secondary—Specifies the secondary saved configuration
● file_name—Specifies an existing user-defined configuration (displays a list of available user-defined
configuration files)
The configuration takes effect on the next reboot.
NOTE
If the switch is rebooted while in the middle of saving a configuration, the switch boots to factory default settings if
the previously saved configuration file is overwritten. The configuration that is not in the process of being saved is
unaffected.
Viewing a Configuration
You can view the current configuration on the switch by using the following command:
show configuration {<module-name>}
You can also view just the portion of the configuration that applies to a particular module (for example,
SNMP) by using the
module-name parameter.
You can send output from the
show configuration {<module-name>} command to the Extreme
Networks Technical Support department for problem-solving purposes. The output maintains the
command line interface (CLI) format of the current configuration on the switch.
Returning to Factory Defaults
To return the switch configuration to factory defaults, use the following command:
unconfigure switch
This command resets the entire configuration, with the exception of user accounts and passwords that
have been configured and the date and time.
To unset the currently selected configuration image, reset all switch parameters, and reboot the switch,
use the following command:
unconfigure switch {all}
