You can maintain a library of configuration files so that in the event a device must
be replaced, its configuration can be loaded into the new hardware quickly and
without discrepancy. Use the Schedule Configuration Upload screen to schedule
or immediately perform configuration uploads from devices in the network to
OpenLane’s configuration database.
After you log in as an administrator, the OpenLane Administration Main Menu
appears. Select Firmware/Configuration/Feature Maintenance. The
Firmware/Configuration/Feature Maintenance screen appears. Click on

Configuration files are stored in the configurations directory:
Solaris:
/opt/pdn/OpenLane/database/configurations
Windows:
\opt\pdn\openlane\database\configurations
Under the configurations directory, subdirectories are named for the IP addresses
of the devices whose configurations you have saved.
Like all OpenLane files, configurations should periodically be backed up for
safekeeping. See
