NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Usage Guidelines Use this command to show results when a default.xsf file is loaded. An existing default.xsf file is executed if the switch comes up in an unconfigured state because the configuration file is missing, or the configuration file cannot be determined due to a corrupt NVRAM or other problems. This returns the switch to some basic configuration. When default.xsf is executed, the show switch command shows default.xsf as the booted configuration file. Example This command shows the results of executing the autoexec script show script output default When there is no default.xsf file, there is no response synchronize synchronize Description The synchronize command replicates all saved images and configurations from the primary MSM/MM or node to the backup MSM/MM or target node on a switch. Default N/A. Usage Guidelines This command: 1. Reboots the backup MSM/MM or target node to prepare it for synchronizing with the primary MSM/MM or node 2. Performs a binary copy of the primary MSM/MM or node to the backup MSM/MM or target node, including the primary and secondary software images, all configurations and policies, and temporary files 3. Reboots the backup MSM/MM or target node after replication is complete During a synchronization, half of the switch fabric is lost. When the primary MSM/MM or node finishes replicating its configurations and images to the backup MSM/MM or target node, the full switch fabric is restored. When you install a backup MSM/MM, you are not prompted to synchronize the images and the configurations from the primary. If not synchronized, the backup uses its image and the primary's configuration. This image/configuration mismatch will likely cause the switch to operate differently after failover. Use the synchronize command to replicate all saved images and configurations from the primary to the backup. Appendix A. Configuration and Image Commands | 1333
