Configuration File Save/Restore Function
Requirements
The Configuration File Save/Restore Function allows a user the ability to backup all
the configuration settings of a unit. With this backup, a user can restore settings to a
unit if necessary or use this backup to apply the same settings to a different unit.
All configurable managed objects are saved in a configuration file that is stored in the
unit’s Large File Area. This includes all configurable settings such as VLAN
configurations, IP Address configuration and SNMP agent settings. The configuration
file can be transferred from the unit to a PC and saved to disk through the iView
2
(iConfig view) protocol. The configuration file can be transferred from a PC to a unit
of the same type through iView
2
(iConfig view) or TFTP into the unit’s Large File Area.
After the transfer is complete, the unit copies the configuration to flash and reboots.
The configuration file’s contents is device-type specific and can be identified by
iView
2
(iConfig view) as a configuration file as well as to what type of device it is
applicable to.
