• CP3140/CP3240 is not working as expected

• CP3140/CP3240 configuration has been cleared by “clear config” command

• CP3140/CP3240 configuration issue

Purpose and Scope

This document gives details on how to recover CP3140/CP3240 configuration Netra CT900.

Please refer to the "Netra[TM] CT900 Server switch Software Reference Manual" (PN: 819-3774) and "Netra[TM] CP3240 Software Reference Manual" (PN: 820-3253) for the details on how to set up the “serviceport” or “network.”

• Connect the NET MGT (Network Management) port to the intranet

Connect the NET MGT port on the front panel to the lab/building network. The tftp/ftp service only goes through this particular port.

Steps needed to recover CP3140/CP3240 configuration:

1. Back up a binary configuration file form a working (source) CP3140/3240

2. Copy the binary configuration to the problematic (target) CP3140/CP3240

• Back up a binary configuration file form a working (source) CP3140/3240

Log into the working CP3140/CP3240 that to backup the configuration file from, and enter Privileged Exec Mode:

Use “show serviceport” or “show network” to make sure it is configured, and ping the tftp server to make sure it is reachable:

(ATS1160 Base) #show serviceport

IP Address..................................... 10.5.63.120
Subnet Mask.................................... 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway................................ 10.5.56.1
ServPort Configured Protocol Current........... None
Burned In MAC Address.......................... 00:20:13:F0:BE:3C

(ATS1160 Base) #ping 10.5.58.95

Send count=3, Receive count=3 from 10.5.58.95

Use the “copy” command to backup the current running configuration, and save it to a tftp server. First, need to copy the running configuration to a NVRAM:

(ATS1160 Base) #copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config

This operation may take a few minutes.
Management interfaces will not be available during this time.

Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y

Configuration Saved!

(ATS1160 Base) #

Then move the NVRAM content to a tftp server:

(ATS1160 Base) #copy nvram:startup-config tftp://10.5.58.95/cp3140-base.cfg

Mode........................................... TFTP
Set TFTP Server IP............................. 10.5.58.95
TFTP Path...................................... ./
TFTP Filename.................................. cp3140-base.cfg
Data Type...................................... Config File

• Copy the binary configuration to the problematic (target) CP3140/CP3240

Copy the backup configuration from the tftp server to the problematic CP3140/CP3240:

(ATS1160 Base) #copy tftp://10.5.58.95/cp3140-base-sun-r2.0.1.cfg system:running-config

Mode........................................... TFTP
