1.9.3.2 Restoring a Configuration Database Using a Text Configuration File
A text configuration file can be used to populate the configuration database of a device, and can be useful during
system upgrades and downgrades. The command used to execute the file and restore a configuration database
is RESTORE CONFIG FILE (SEC).
The keyword FILE requires that a sourcefile (from FLASH) or unit:sourcefile (from CFLASH) be supplied. The
optional keyword OUTPUT is recommended since this can be used to capture logs that are produced by the
script.
