Configuration File Save/Restore Function

The Configuration File Save/Restore function lets you back up all of the

configuration settings of a unit. You can use this backup to restore settings to a unit

if necessary or apply the same settings to a different unit.

Overview

All configurable managed objects are saved in a configuration file stored in the Large

File Area of the module. 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 iConfig protocol. The configuration file can be transferred from a PC to

a module of the same type through iConfig or TFTP into the Large File Area of the

module. After the transfer is complete, the unit copies the configuration to flash and

reboots.

The configuration file contents are specific to the device type, and can be identified

by iConfig as a configuration file that is applicable to a specific type of device.
