XML Configuration
Introduction
Beginning in firmware version 2.0.0, interconnect switch firmware configuration files are
specified in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format. In previous versions, the
configuration file was stored in binary format. Binary configuration files saved from previous
versions cannot be downloaded into firmware version 2.0.0. However, previous configuration
settings are preserved during the firmware upgrade to version 2.0.0.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services continue to be used to upload and download
configuration files. See the TFTP sections in the Web-based, CLI, or menu-driven interface
reference guides.
When XML formatted configuration files are downloaded to the interconnect switch, the
interconnect switch interprets the contents and applies it to the system immediately. The
configuration settings are saved to NVRAM and become the current settings for the
interconnect switch. These settings are then used every time the interconnect switch is
rebooted.
IMPORTANT: The TFTP server must be running TFTP server software to perform a file transfer. TFTP
server software is included as part of the Windows utilities package.
User Account Information
User account information is not saved in the XML configuration file for security reasons and
must be managed by the interconnect switch administrator. User account information can be
manually added to the XML configuration file after it is uploaded, or it can be
re-entered using the CLI, menu-driven interface, or Web-based interface.
“root” is a special user name and is preserved even if <USER_ACCOUNTS_LIST
RESET="True">. Any other user name, such as “Administrator” with root privileges is
deleted along with all other users.
