Reinstalling the software
373
ATTENTION
A reinstall wipes out all configuration data, including network settings. Before
reinstalling the software on a Nortel SNAS device with a working configuration,
save all configuration data to a file on a TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP server. If you
use the
ptcfg
command in the CLI, the saved configuration data will include
installed keys and certificates. You can later restore the configuration, including
the installed keys and certificates, by using the
gtcfg
command. (For more
information about these CLI commands, see
.) If you want to make separate backup copies of
your keys and certificates, use the
display
or
export
commands. (For more
information about these commands, see
“Saving or exporting certificates and
.)
If a software CD was shipped with the Nortel SNAS, you can also reinstall
the software from the CD (see
“Reinstalling the software from a CD” (page
).
