Foundry Configuration Guide for the FESX, FSX, and FWSX
23 - 12 © Foundry Networks, Inc. December 2005
23 – Download a configuration file from a TFTP server into the Foundry device’s running-config.
NOTE: Command option 23 adds configuration information to the running-config on the device, and does
not replace commands. If you want to replace configuration information in the device, use “no” forms of the
configuration commands to remove the configuration information, then use configuration commands to create
the configuration information you want. Follow the guidelines in “Dynamic Configuration Loading” on
page 23-9.
Erasing Image and Configuration Files
To erase software images or configuration files, use the commands described below. These commands are valid
at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
• erase flash primary erases the image stored in primary flash of the system.
• erase flash secondary erases the image stored in secondary flash of the system.
• erase startup-config erases the configuration stored in the startup configuration file; however, the running
configuration remains intact until system reboot.
Scheduling a System Reload
In addition to reloading the system manually, you can configure the Foundry device to reload itself at a specific
time or after a specific amount of time has passed.
NOTE: The scheduled reload feature requires the system clock. You can use a Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) server to set the clock or you can set the device clock manually. See “Specifying a Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) Server” on page 3-8 or “Setting the System Clock” on page 3-10.
Reloading at a Specific Time
To schedule a system reload for a specific time, use the reload at command. For example, to schedule a system
reload from the primary flash module for 6:00:00 AM, April 1, 2003, enter the following command at the global
CONFIG level of the CLI:
FESX424 Switch# reload at 06:00:00 04-01-03
Syntax: reload at <hh:mm:ss> <mm-dd-yy> [primary | secondary]
<hh:mm:ss> is the hours, minutes, and seconds.
<mm-dd-yy> is the month, day, and year.
primary | secondary specifies whether the reload is to occur from the primary code flash module or the
secondary code flash module. The default is primary.
Reloading after a Specific Amount of Time
To schedule a system reload to occur after a specific amount of time has passed on the system clock, use reload
after command. For example, to schedule a system reload from the secondary flash one day and 12 hours later,
enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
FESX424 Switch# reload after 01:12:00 secondary
Syntax: reload after <dd:hh:mm> [primary | secondary]
<dd:hh:mm> is the number of days, hours, and minutes.
primary | secondary specifies whether the reload is to occur from the primary code flash module or the
secondary code flash module.
