Restoring the Backup Image from the CLI

The backup image can be restored using the CLI from local storage, flash and FTP server.

To restore the backup image from local storage and flash:

  1. Locate the backup image from local storage and flash (if a flash device is inserted) using the show upgrade command. This command lists all upgrade files and backup image files.
    EWC.extremenetworks.com# show upgrade
    1: AC-MV-09.01.01.0123-1.rue
    2: rue-08.31.01.0192-rescue-user.tgz
    Note

    Note

    Backup image files are identified based on the file name format.
  2. Restore the backup image from the local storage or flash device using the upgrade ac backup-image-name command. Make sure that you do not specify a bckto local option.
    EWC.extremenetworks.com# upgrade ac rue-08.31.01.0192-rescue-user.tgz
    This command restores the system to the backup image selected.

    To avoid typing the full image name, you can specify the image using the index returned by the show upgrade command.

    For example, the command below will install the image with index 2 which, in this case, is

    rue-08.31.01.0192-rescue-user.tgz.

    EWC.extremenetworks.com# upgrade ac 2

    To Restore the Local Image from the FTP or SCP Server:

  3. Download the backup image from the FTP or SCP server by using the copy upgrade server |user |dir |backup-file-name [scp scp password] command.

    In the following example, the CLI command states that the upgrade file will be downloaded from the SCP server to the Wireless Appliance local drive:

    EWC.extremenetworks.com# copy upgrade 192.168.4.10 test system/images AC-MV-08.21.01.2222-1.rue scp TestPassword
  4. Restore the backup image by using the upgrade ac new-image-name command.
    EWC.extremenetworks.com# upgrade ac rue-08.31.01.0192-rescue-user.tgz
