Take Backup and restore onto another ICX7250

Question

On the Web Interface of the ICX7250 The Last Tabs have
TFTP Configuration
TFTP Image
Can I Perform a Backup of these for one Switch and Restore to another?
If so would I need to Specify an exact Filename or would a restore Place the File in the Correct Place with the name needed by the System – If the File name was something I understand rather than the Actual Name of what I am backing up. For example if I name the Backups M9config and M9Image Can I simply copy from Server using the same name?

Hi Richl

I Suppose you should be able to upload the config using option "Copy from server to flash ". But make sure the copy of config is downloaded from Web UI using option " Save from flash to server " . And also validate if it is the same running config on the switch once the file is downloaded.

Above is a pic from the link mentioned in previous post. Also make sure Model and Firmware of the switch needs to match when you upload.  I hope this helps. Thanks

Hi

I have read the Guide and it tells me no more than I know now - I have saved backup files to my TFTP Brocade BNA Server - What I want to know is can I load this file to another Switch running the Same Firmware release.  If I can do this it would save time as all my switches would have the Same Configuration I would just then have to Populate the Vlan Members and carry out Basic Edit Functions rather than have to add all the config to each Switch one by one.

Refer "Using TFTP" Pg 273

I hope this link helps you.

Also note when you restore the config,  model of the switch and firmware should match. Thanks
