By default, the file (startup.cfg, mirror.cfg, or backup.cfg) is downloaded in the
default Downloads folder; for example, C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My
Documents\Downloads\.
STEP 4 To clear the selected configuration, click Clear.
Restoring the Configuration Settings
You can restore a previously-saved configuration file:
STEP 1 Choose Administration > Backup/Restore Settings.
STEP 2 In the Configuration Upload field, select the configuration to upload (Startup
Configuration or Backup Configuration).
STEP 3 Click Browse to locate the file.
STEP 4 Select the file and click Open.
STEP 5 Click Start to Upload.
The Cisco RV215W uploads the configuration file and uses the settings it contains
to update the Startup Configuration. Then the Cisco RV215W restarts and uses
the new configuration.
Copying the Configuration Settings
You copy the Startup Configuration to the Backup Configuration to ensure you
have a backup copy in case you forget your username and password and get
locked out of the Device Manager. In this case, the only way to get back into the
Device Manager is to reset the Cisco RV215W to factory default.
The Backup Configuration file remains in memory and allows the backed up
configuration information to be copied to the Startup Configuration, which restores
all of the settings.
