Restoring Step 1: Downloading a Configuration File
To restore the configuration of the ML device system, download a previously saved
configuration file to the ML device. During download, the configuration file is checked for
validity and compatibility. An error message is displayed if the configuration file is invalid
(binary file was manually edited) or incompatible (differences in software version or NE
hardware model between the backup and the NE where the backup is restored).
To download the configuration file to the ML device
1. In the Network Element tree, open System Administration.
2. Open Configuration Backup. The Configuration Backup pane opens in the work area.
3. On the Host, run an FTP/TFTP server. The FTP/TFTP directory must point to the
configuration directory where the configuration file is stored (for HTTP, skip this step).
