Restoring the Mobility Router Configuration

If you need to roll back to a previous Mobility Router configuration file, you can restore the previous

TFTP, FTP, or SCP server.

To restore the Mobility Router configuration:

1. Select Maintenance > System > Restore.

2. Enter the Hostname or IP address of the configuration file’s location.

3. Select the Protocol by which to receive the file: FTP, SCP or TFTP. Depending upon the type of

protocol, for example FTP or SCP, enter the relevant information such as Port number, User ID

and Password.

4. Enter the User ID. The entry must match a user ID on the Mobility Router.

Note

The FTP or TFTP server must be running for the backup to succeed.
