FIRMWARE CONSIDERATIONS
Inventory Manager must use SNMPv3 access parameters when performing firmware upgrades,
archive restore operations, or reset operations on XSR devices running firmware version 4.0 and
higher.
•
When restoring a configuration to an X−Pedition, if the configuration file has errors, it will not be
restored to the device. You will need to correct any errors in the configuration file prior to restoring it.
You can check a configuration file for errors via CLI; lines that contain errors have an "E" after the
line number.
