Managing the Configuration File
Resetting the Current Configuration
Resetting the current configuration causes your appliance to revert back to the original factory defaults.
You should save your configuration prior to resetting it. Resetting the configuration via this button in the
GUI is not supported in a clustering environment.
See Resetting to Factory Defaults, page 33-4.
CLI Commands for Configuration Files
The following commands allow you to manipulate the configuration files:
• showconfig
• mailconfig
• saveconfig
• loadconfig
• resetconfig (See Resetting to Factory Defaults, page 33-4.)
The showconfig, mailconfig, and saveconfig Commands
For the configuration commands showconfig, mailconfig, and saveconfig, you are prompted to choose
whether to include passwords in the file that will be mailed or displayed. Choosing not to include
passwords will leave any password field blank. You can choose not to include passwords if you are
concerned about security breaches. However, configuration files without passwords will fail when
loaded using the
loadconfig command. See Note About Loading Passwords for Log Subscriptions,
page 33-11.
Note When saving, showing, or mailing your configuration file if you choose to include passwords (answer
yes to “Do you want to include passwords?”) the passwords are encrypted. However, the private keys
and certificates are included in unencrypted PEM format.
The s
howconfig command prints the current configuration to the screen.
mail3.example.com> showconfig
Do you want to include passwords? Please be aware that a configuration without passwords
will fail when reloaded with loadconfig.
