Hi,<br />
<br />
Thanks all. I restored the switch back to factory defaults deleting all the files in the dir with the exception of the IOS. Also using the commands below, copied over the back config file to the flash and the back from flash to running config. Thanks much.<br />
<br />
copy fttp:MyBackup.txt flash:MyBackup.txt<br />
copy flash:MyBackup.txt run

Hi All,<br />
<br />
Trying to copy a config from a Production switch to Backup switch that will act as a backup hot spare. I matched the ios correctly and was able to back up the config from Production, however when I restore the config to the backup switch it gives some errors because I am connecting via tftp on port 1 of the backup switch and assigned an address to connect. <br />
<br />
Do I have to fix manually or is there a clean way of connecting via tftp and restoring. There is no usb or other connection ports in that back such as using a cross-over. Thanks in advance for you assistance

Restore IOS to another switch gives error because of connecting using tftp and assigning an IP

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
