Restore the Configuration Settings from Backup

Overview

Use this procedure to restore from backup the configuration settings of your Edge 8000 device. The sys-tools config restore command restores the system to a previous backup configuration. This includes the configuration of all the components that were active in the device at the time of the backup, including 

• Analog Manager (not applicable for the Edge 8100 model)
• 6Wind Router
  

• SBC SWe Edge VNF
  

• User Management - Users and Passwords

This procedure applies to all Edge 8000 Series devices.

Prerequisites

• Access to the backup file (Refer to Back Up the Configuration Settings.)
• System Administrator login access to the Edge 8000 CLI
• Physical access to the port associated with the BR2 management bridge (example: port GE 7) 
  

Start

1. Connect the management computer to the port associated with the BR2 management bridge (example: port GE 7) at the front of the Edge 8000 device.
   The computer will receive a DHCP IPv4 address on the Edge 8000's management subnet, 192.168.122.0/24. 
   (If the system's management network is reachable from the remote management computer, then SSH directly to the Edge 8000's management address.)
2. Open a secure shell (ssh) session to the system's management IPv4 address. The default IP address is 192.168.122.1.
3. Log in to the Edge 8000 CLI as System Administrator (sysadm) and enter the password.
4. Change permission to root user by entering sudo -i. Then enter the sysadm user password.

5. Execute the system tools (sys-tools) command to restore the configuration settings from backup.
   Syntax:
   sys-tools config restore <backup_file_name>
    

   Example

   # sys-tools config restore RL-bkup_cfg_8300-EAST-01_v24.1.0RCbuild.106e640_2024-06-17-01.08.50.tgz
   ...
   virsh start SBCSWeEdge  ====> Success.
   systemctl stop evagent.service  ====> Success.
   systemctl stop emtunnel.service  ====> Success.
   # 
   

6. Exit the CLI session and remove the physical connection from the GE 7 port.
