Restoring from Backups
Restoring AAA Authentication Information
When you restore AAA authentication information, the following configuration settings are updated:
• AAA authentication lists
• The user names and passwords in the local username database
• Radius servers, server groups, and associated server, group and global authentication port,
retransmit, time-out, deadtime and key values
• TACACS+ servers, server groups, and associated server and global authentication port, time-out,
and key values.
Use the following procedure to restore the AAA authentication configuration that exists in the saved
configuration file aaa_backup.
Note In a cluster environment, AAA configuration functions are handled by a single node in the cluster. If you
issue an AAA command from a storage router that is not performing AAA configuration functions, the
CLI displays an informational message with the name of the storage router that is currently handling
those functions.
Restoring an Access List
When you restore an access list, existing entries are never deleted. The restore will add missing entries
and overwrite entries of the same name, but will never purge or delete existing entries. If necessary, you
can delete an entire access list and then restore if from a saved configuration file.
Use the following procedure to restore the access list named mylist from the file named
accesslist_backup.
In this example, the access list named mylist in the running configuration contains the following entries:
• 10.1.1.30/32
• 172.16.255.220/32
• chap-username 12h7b.lab2.webservices
• chap-username 12784.lab1.webservices
