PoLRE Import/Export Configuration

You can export the switch configuration to make a backup copy, or to modify offline, and import later.

If you don't know the switch IP address:

• Console port: 115200/8n1, login default: admin/admin
• Use pal-show-sys-ip to display the management IP address

Open the PoLRE web GUI using Chrome or Firefox...

Export current configuration:

1. From the GUI top menu bar, goto ADMIN ➜ SETUP
2. In the Export Configuration from the Switch panel, click EXPORT
   a text file: <hostname>.cfg is exported to the Downloads folder.

Editing:

Open the file in a plain text editor to view/edit the following:

• host name & IP address
• server/services/VLANs
• Port Enable/Disable

eg, to disable management console auto-logoff/timeout, find:

@@@@@ /etc/stimeout
60                                ← default = 60 seconds, change to 0 to disable

Import the edited configuration file to apply the changes, a reboot is not required.

IMPORTANT: The configuration syntax must be strictly followed or you may lose access to the switch. The file must be saved in Unix (LF) format; a program such as BBEdit (Mac) or Notepad++ (Windows) is recommended.

Import a configuration file:

1. From the GUI top menu bar, goto ADMIN ➜ SETUP
2. Click SELECT FILE, and select the .cfg file to upload.
3. Click UPLOAD. Note, changes are applied immediately.
