3550, how to save config?

[soulofmischief]

Afternoon all,

Im looking at adding a new ip route to a set of 3550's but im having some problems:
1. I don't know IOS.
2. I can telnet and get access into only one (of 3) 3550's. NO web interface for any of them.

So digging around a bit i found the following:

"Use the savecnf BackupID NodeName SV_Node <SV_IP_ADDR> command to save the configuration, where:

· BackupID is an 8-character name used as an identifier. A pull-down menu in the StrataView Topology window shows the BackupIDs of stored configurations for different times.

· NodeName is the name of the switch. The NodeName can be specified as an asterisk (*), which indicates all nodes in the network.

· SV_Node is the SV+ gateway node when the NWIP option is off. When the NWIP option is on, you must specify SV_NODE as an asterisk (*) and, in this case, the SV_IP_ADDR specifies the IP address of the SV+ station to which the savecnf command is destined."


So basically im looking to add to the current config and hopefully have it write to all three (based on "NodeName is the name of the switch. The NodeName can be specified as an asterisk (*), which indicates all nodes in the network").


For the backupID, do i have to specify a specific, existing back up id or can i create a new one?

How can i tell if my switches have NWIP on?

Basically all i need to add to all three is:

ip route 192.168.144.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.128.3

and have it save. unfortunately wr mem doesnt work

What happens when you try to log on to the other 2 switches with telnet?
Do you have physical access to the switch?
Do you have a console cable?

 

[soulofmischief]

one i can telnet into, but after trying every user/pw combo that i know that we are using.. i cant get in. ive only been w/ this company 6 months and there is NO documentation at all. the other wont connect.

I have physical access to the switches and i have a console cable.. im contemplating doing the password recovery on the other 2, but i am hesistant as these are in a production enviroment, are out of warranty, and have no smartnet agreement. plus i'd like to have some basic knowledge about them before playing w/ them. so if i hose them, im going to be in deep poop.

 

[Zen37]

OK, been in that situation before too.

Have you tried connecting with the console cable? That uses a different password and that one might work.

I am asking you this because, to be honest, i've never use the commands you showed in your first post (i've never even seen them before). I'm willing to help, but you will need to have either a telnet, aux or console connection first.

Password recovery is not difficult, i would not hesitate to recommend you read on how to do it. You will see the steps are easy and the chances of failure are not all that high, unless the switches were unstable to begin with.

 

[soulofmischief]

i can telnet into one, ive got good access on the console port of another, and im trying to find the pw on the 3rd.

 

[Zen37]

When you get access to all three, he's what you do

router> en
password: (enter the password)
router# conf t
router<config># ip route 192.168.144.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.128.3
router<config># exit
router# copy run start

It will ask to confirm that you want to write to the confg-startup file, reply with a "y"

You changes will now be saved within the configuration.

thanks! i'll give it a go tomorrow.
