Switched Rack PDU

Detailed procedures
Use the following procedures to retrieve the settings of one Switched Rack
PDU and export them to one or more other Switched Rack PDUs.
Retrieving. To set up and retrieve an .ini file to export:
1. Configure a Rack PDU with the settings you want to export.
2. Use FTP to retrieve the file config.ini from the Rack PDU you
configured:
a. Open a connection to the Rack PDU, using its IP Address. For
example:
ftp> open 158.165.2.132
b. Log on, using the Administrator user name and password configured
for the Rack PDU.
c. Retrieve the config.ini file containing the Rack PDU’s current
settings:
ftp> get config.ini
The file is written to the folder from which you launched FTP.
To avoid errors, configure the Rack PDU by using its Web
interface or control console whenever possible. Directly
editing the .ini file risks introducing errors.
