7.5 Text Based Configuration (TBC) File Management
7.5.1 Text Based Configuration File
Text Based Configuration (TBC) file is a simple text file that holds the template configurations of the device. The 8100 series of
devices supports the TBC file in XML format which can be edited in any XML or text editors.
You can generate the TBC file from the CLI Session and manually edit the configurations and then load the edited TBC file
to the device so that the edited configurations are applied on to the device. It differs mainly with the binary configuration file
in terms of manual edition of configurations. The generated TBC file is a template which has only the default and modified
configurations on that live CLI session.
Downloading/Uploading the TBC File:
The TBC file can be downloaded to or uploaded from the device using all three interfaces (SNMP/WEB/CLI). Either TFTP or
HTTP options can be used to download or upload the TBC file.
NOTE: While downloading the TBC file, any file name is accepted and then the file is renamed to PXM-TBC.xml. If the
mandatory XML tags are missing, the file is not downloaded to the device.
7.5.2 Generating TBC File
Text Based Configuration file is generated only when generate command is given from the Command Line Interface (CLI).
While generating the TBC File from CLI, there is an option to generate it with or without all Management & Security
Passwords. The management passwords include CLI/WEB/SNMP passwords. The security passwords include
Network-Secret/Encryption-Key(s)/RADIUS-Shared-Secret. If included, these passwords become a part of the generated TBC
file and are in a readable form. If excluded, all these passwords are not a part of the generated TBC file.
The commands used for the generation of TBC file are:
T8000-00:00:01# generate tbc-with-pwds
T8000-00:00:01# generate tbc-without-pwds
The generated TBC file contains
• Default configurations with their default values.
• Any user-added or edited configurations on current live CLI session.
7.5.3 Retrieving TBC File
Using the WEB interface, you can retrieve the generated TBC file from the device either through TFTP or HTTP protocol.
7.5.3.1 Retrieving through HTTP
For retrieving a Text based template configuration file via HTTP web interface, click MANAGEMENT > File Management >
Retrieve From Device > HTTP.
