    To restore the configuration using the CLI:

  8. Log into the CLI using SSH or console.
  9. View all backup files in local storage by using the show import command.
    EWC.extremenetworks.com#show import
    1: EWC.03122009.071327.zip
  10. Restore the configuration by using the import filename|number command.

    For example, to restore the backup file shown in the example under step 1:

    EWC.extremenetworks.com#import EWC.03122009.071327.zip

    To avoid typing the full name of the backup file, you can use the index number returned by the show import command.

    The restore can be run directly from an imported file stored on flash. In this case, the string “(flash)” must be suffixed to the end of the specified file name.

    EWC.extremenetworks.com#import 1

    The command will restore the controller configuration to the configuration in the backup file.
