www.dell.com | support.dell.com Replacing the Current Running Configuration Replace the current running configuration with an archived configuration using the command configure replace from EXEC Privilege mode. In the example below: 1. The hostname of the Dell Force10 system is changed from "R1" to "Force10." 2. The running configuration is replaced with archive_0, in which the hostname is "R1." R1#config R1(conf)#hostname Force10 FTOS#configure replace archive_0 This will apply all nessesary additions and deletions to replace the current running-config with the contents of the specified configuration file, which is assumed to be complete configuration, not a partial configuration Please confirm if you want to proceed [yes/no]:yes 2d3h3m: %RPM0-P:CP %CLI-6-RBACKSTART: start rollback to file flash:/CFGARCH_DIR/ archive_0 2d3h3m: %RPM0-P:CP %SYS-5-CONFIG_LOAD: Loading configuration file 2d3h3m: %RPM0-P:CP %CLI-6-RBACKCOMPLETE: completed rollback to flash:/CFGARCH_DIR/ archive_0 R1# Use the keyword force to bypass the FTOS confirmation dialog, as shown in the example below.

This feature enables you to test a configuration before committing the system to it. • If you do not like the configuration, wait for the specified time to expire, as shown in the first example. • If you like the configuration, enter the command configure confirm from EXEC Privilege mode before the specified time, as shown in the second example. 302 | Configuration Replace and Rollback
