Managing the Configuration File
The loadconfig Command
Use the loadconfig to load new configuration information into the appliance. You can load information
in one of two methods:
• Placing information in the configuration directory and uploading it.
• Pasting configuration information directly into the CLI.
See Loading a Configuration File, page 33-9 for more information.
Uploading Configuration Changes Using the CLI
Procedure
Step 1 Outside of the CLI, ensure that you are able to access the configuration directory of the appliance. See
Appendix A, “FTP, SSH, and SCP Access” for more information.
Step 2 Place an entire configuration file or subsection of a configuration file in the configuration directory of
the appliance, or edit an existing configuration that was created from the
saveconfig command.
Step 3 Within the CLI, use the loadconfig command to load the configuration file you placed in the directory
from Step 2, or paste the text (XML syntax) directly into the CLI.
In this example, a file named changed.config.xml is uploaded and the changes are committed:
mail3.example.com> loadconfig
1. Paste via CLI
2. Load from file
[1]> 2
Enter the name of the file to import:
[]> changed.config.xml
Values have been loaded.
Be sure to run "commit" to make these settings active.
