Back Up the Current Configuration Before Upgrading

Language:

Save the current configuration to a remote site before upgrading the software. Refer to the Oracle Switch ES1-24 Configuration Guide for additional information.

You can also use the backup and restore feature from Oracle ILOM to save the current Oracle ILOM and SEFOS configurations to a remote server. You can then restore the switch configuration after upgrading the firmware. See Include the SEFOS Configuration in Backups.

Note - During the upgrade, if you answer yes to the question Preserve existing configuration (y/n)?, the Oracle ILOM and SEFOS configurations are automatically preserved. There is no need to explicitly restore the configuration.

Configure the default IP address.
1. Enter Global Configuration mode.
```
SEFOS# configure terminal
```
2. Configure the default IP address and subnet mask as 10.0.0.100 and 255.255.0.0.
```
SEFOS(config)# default ip address 10.0.0.100 subnet-mask 255.255.0.0
```
3. Exit Global Configuration mode.
```
SEFOS(config)# end
```

Configure the restoration file name.
1. Enter Global Configuration mode.
```
SEFOS# configure terminal
```
2. Configure a configuration restoration file name.
```
SEFOS(config)# default restore-file myconfig.conf
```
3. Exit Global Configuration mode.
```
SEFOS(config)# end
```

Save the current configuration for restoration.
```
SEFOS(config)# write startup-config
```

Copy the configuration file to a remote location.

SEFOS(config)# copy startup-config tftp://12.0.0.100/switch.conf

Exit and restart the switch.

SEFOS# exit
