Configuration capture

• Terminal

  • savecnf <backupId> <nodeName> * <serverIP> <nodeName>

  • dspcnf

  • clrscrn

  • A saved configuration file set is saved in the /tftpboot directory of the device server. This configuration set contains three files needed to restore the device configuration state. The ID of the save determines the name of the subdirectory containing the saved files. The ID is VC<DDD><YY> where DDD represents the 3 digit day of the year and YY is the two digit year. For example the ID for a backup on March 2nd 2008 would be VC06208. The subdirectory containing the configuration files for restoration is named <ID>_Cfgdir as in /tftpboot/VC06208_Cfgdir for a backup on March 2nd 2008. For example:

    • -bash-3.00# ls -l /tftpboot/

    • drwxr-x--- 2 nobody root 4096 Mar 3 22:59 VC06308_Cfgdir

    • -bash-3.00# ls -l /tftpboot/VC06308_Cfgdir/

    • total 4984

    • -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 256 Mar 3 20:14 D1.ALX1_BPX.000

    • -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 2536663 Mar 3 20:35 D1.ALX1_BPX.001

    • -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 800 Mar 3 20:14 D1.ALX1_BPX.cfg

    • -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 256 Mar 3 22:59 D1.Madi_BPX.000

    • -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 2536663 Mar 3 23:21 D1.Madi_BPX.001

    • -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 800 Mar 3 22:59 D1.Madi_BPX.cfg

      Note:

      Automatic backups will be disabled after every configuration capture.

    • You can save a configuration if both of the following are true:

    • No save or restore process is currently running.

    • No configuration changes are in progress.

    • Configuration captures for the device have an enable and disable feature. The quick commands Disable Automatic Backups and Enable Automatic Backups are provided to prevent the server from automatically issuing the saveallcnf after every device change. It is advisable to disable automatic backups unless the device is currently not provisioned.
