All Previous Configuration gone.

I am in great trouble. I am using F5 (big-IP) trail and configured it. It was running smoothly. With some power interrupt the big-IP got restart and it got back to it's default mode e.g. non of my configuration was there. In the mean time i purchased the F5 and i want my all configuration which i done in the trial F5.

 

Is there anyway to get back that configuration which in done in trial mode?

 

Need urgent help.

    you cannot restore it without having any older UCS or configuration files of the system. its a good practice to take the UCS backup after your last change, you can restore in worst situations.

    Hi Rockers,

    it's normal for you to lose the configuration after a reboot. you're sure you did not switch to another partition.

    Using CLI can you enter this command and provide me output:

    switchboot -l

    Thank you regards,
