Chapter 10 Cisco WAN Manager Operations
Saving and Restoring Configurations
The PXM1-based switches (Cisco MGX 8230, Cisco MGX 8250, and PXM1-based
Cisco MGX 8850) use TFTP to upload and download configurations. You must enter the correct
password in the ConfigSave Password field.
When you are managing your configuration files for any non-PXM1-based switches, you are required to
enter a valid password in the ConfigSave Password field that has sufficient privileges to be able to
execute a configuration save operation. For information about the access privileges for Configuration
Save and Restore, see Chapter 2, “Getting Started with Cisco WAN Manager.”
Step 7 Enter the timeout period in the Time Out field.
The timeout defines the period that CWM waits for the save operation to complete. Depending upon the
node type, the default is between 900 sec and 5400 sec.
Step 8 Select a node or nodes from the Unselected node list pane.
Step 9 Use the arrow keys to move the node or nodes over to the Selected node list pane.
Step 10 If there are too many nodes of the same type to select from, enter a character string that defines a subset
of the complete list for selection in the Filter field.
Step 11 Click Save to initiate the process.
You receive a confirmation message in the Results pane, which indicates whether the save operation is
initiated properly or not. After several minutes the system confirms a successful operation with the
following message:
Config Save...done
Note Depending upon the node type and network load, the save process can take 10 to 20 min to
complete.
If you attempt to initiate a configuration save operation on a node that is already saving configurations
from a previous attempt, a message indicates that your request conflicts with another request.
For Cisco MGX nodes, you do not need to establish a telnet session for conflicting requests on the same
node.
For Cisco BPX and Cisco IGX nodes, if you have downloaded a configuration and executed a
configuration save immediately without executing the runcnf command first, you must:
• Right-click a node and choose Administration > Telnet to establish a telnet session with the node.
Or select a node from the Hierarchical Tree and choose Tools > Administration > Telnet.
• Enter the savecnf clear <nodename> <nodename> command to cancel the existing savecnf command
by executing the loadcnf clear command.
To cancel an existing save operation that originated from CWM:
• Click the In-Progress tab.
• Select the entry.
• Click Abort to cancel the save operation.
The files are saved to the usr/users/svplus/ConfigData/<backup ID>_<node name> directory.
For additional details, click the In-Progress tab to display an ongoing summary of the save operation.
