Cisco WAN Manager Operations
These topics describe how to manage Cisco WAN Manager (CWM) operations by saving and restoring
node configuration files, and downloading software and firmware images:
• Saving and Restoring Configurations
• Downloading Software and Firmware
• Deleting Images
Saving and Restoring Configurations
You can save and restore node configuration files.
The Configuration Save and Restore (CSR) utility saves and restores configurations for the following
node platforms:
CHA PTER

• Cisco MGX PXM45-based products (Cisco MGX 8880, Cisco MGX 8950, and Cisco MGX 8850
(PXM45))
• Cisco MGX PXM1E-based products (Cisco MGX 8830 and Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E))
• Cisco MGX PXM1-based products (Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and Cisco MGX 8850
(PXM1))
• Cisco SES PNNI Controller
• Cisco IGX 8400 series
• Cisco BPX 8600 series
• Cisco MGX 8220 products
Note Release 15 of CWM ConfigSave and Restore does not support HP OpenView.
Each network node stores configuration information in battery RAM (BRAM) or on the controller’s hard
drive, which depends on the type of node. The node configuration includes service module-related and
topology information for trunks, circuit lines, jobs, connections, and so forth. Periodically, you should
make a backup copy of the node configuration to facilitate recovery in the event of a node failure. Backup
configurations are restored to the node from Cisco WAN Manager (CWM).
Note For Cisco IGX and Cisco BPX nodes, the save and restore capability is a licensed feature. You must use
the cnfswfunc command on each node where you want to save and restore configurations.

Saving Node Configurations for Cisco BPX and Cisco IGX Nodes
Chapter 10 Cisco WAN Manager Operations
You can save node configurations for Cisco BPX or Cisco IGX nodes.
The standard TFTP protocol backs up the Cisco BPX and Cisco IGX node configuration to a network
server other than CWM. The network server is any machine that is connected to a LAN attached to the
network, a TFTP server and disk, and stores configuration files. The configuration files are saved by
using the TFTP method and are restored by using the proprietary method, and so forth. The files are
stored in the correct directory with the correct filenames assumed by the proprietary protocol.
For more information about the TFTP Configuration Save and Restore facility and about the cnfswfunc
command, refer to the Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference, Release 9.3.30.
Note The CWM ConfigSave and Restore feature must be enabled on the BPX and IGX nodes. When this
option is not enabled, you can not save or restore the configuration from the node.
Procedure
To save a node configuration for Cisco BPX or Cisco IGX nodes, complete the following procedure:
Step 1 Open a terminal window.
Step 2 When you establish a CLI session, you must:
a. Enter the username at the prompt.
b. Enter the password at the prompt.
Step 3 Enter the cnfswfunc command to enable or verify the Configuration Save/Restore function for a
Cisco BPX node or Cisco IGX node.
Step 4 For the Cisco BPX node, enter index number 1 for the Configuration Save/Restore function.
For the Cisco IGX node, enter index number 4 for the
Configuration Save/Restore function.

Cisco IGX and Cisco BPX nodes maintain the primary version of the network operating software in
RAM of the active controller card. If redundant controllers are installed, the standby controller maintains
a secondary version, which may or may not be the same release level as the primary. The primary version
of the operating software can typically be the same release level on all nodes in the network.
All Cisco IGX and Cisco BPX card modules also have card and version specific firmware, which is
stored in flash memory on the front card. If applicable, firmware upgrades are downloaded to the switch
controller card, and distributed to the other cards within that switch. Cisco IGX and Cisco BPX nodes
do not provide long-term storage of firmware images on the controller card.
Cisco MGX nodes do not use network-switching software as on the Cisco IGX and Cisco BPX nodes.
The Cisco MGX nodes use firmware that controls shelf and card operation. The Cisco MGX controller
retains a copy of firmware for service modules, and upgrades are downloaded from a management
station.
The TFTP/FTP protocol downloads software and firmware images from the CWM workstation to WAN
switches.
The CWM Image Download downloads software and firmware images, and monitors the download
process.
Downloading Software and Firmware
Note A CWM workstation is not required to download the software images. You can download the software
images using any machine that can run a FTP client/server process.
Locating Switch Images for Downloading
Cisco Connection Online (CCO) provides a web page, WAN Switching Upgrade Planner, which provides
information about the latest Cisco software product. If you have a Cisco Connection Online account, you
can order or download software directly to your system. The URL for CCO software and firmware is
