bcmbackup
Syntax bcmbackup [both | primary | secondary] <-ftp | -tftp> [-name: <backname>]
<device>
Description You can use this utility to prepare a network management station as a secondary
boot source, to archive the configuration as a backup copy, to obtain a baseline
configuration, or to perform an off-line configuration. The bcmbackup utility
copies the primary and secondary boot sources from a bridge/router or switch to a
network management station. The bcmbackup utility can be used instead of the
-s:from_nb stage of bcmsysupgrade, which captures only the primary boot source.
You can assign names to the backup directories, which allows you to maintain
multiple backups of the primary and secondary boot blocks. This symbolic name is
applicable to both the primary and secondary boot blocks. The default boot block
names are supported to maintain backward compatibility.
bcmrestore Restores a bridge/router to a previous operational state by copying files from
the network management station to the bridge/router and setting the boot
sources.
bcmsetup Places the latest version of the Enterprise OS Upgrade Management Utilities
on the network management station. Integrates the Upgrade Management
Utilities with Transcend.
bcmsysupgrade Performs all upgrade functions on NETBuilder bridge/routers and PathBuilder
Switches.
bcmuname Displays general information about the bridge/router.
bcmupdate Converts configuration files on the network management station for use with
a newer version of software.
UpgradeLink Launches Upgrade Link.
