Shared configuration files and device-specific passwords
TransPortpasswords are stored in the configuration file in an encrypted form and the passwords are
not device-specific. Another TransPort can read the configuration file and decipher the encrypted form
of the password. Because passwords are encrypted and cannot be displayed in clear text, you can
safely share configuration files across multiple devices.
However, if you do not intend to share configuration files, you can enable the device-specific
passwords option. When the device-specific passwords option is enabled, only the device on which
the password was configured can decipher the password. See the system command
device-specific-passwords parameter for details.
Note The device-specific-passwords option does not apply to passwords set using the user or
openvpn-user commands.
Save configuration settings to a file
When you make a change to the TransPort configuration, the changes are not automatically saved to
the configuration file. You must explicitly save configuration changes to a configuration file. If you do
not save configuration changes, the system discards the changes when the device next boots up.
Web
n On configuration pages, click Apply to save changes to the configuration file immediately.
Command line
Enter the save config command.
digi.router> save config
Switch configuration files
You can store multiple configuration files on a device, but the device uses only one configuration file
when it reboots. The default configuration file is named config.da0. See Default configuration files.
To switch to another configuration file:
1. If needed, identify the current configuration file using the show system command.
2. Change the current configuration file using the update command.
3. If needed, create the configuration file you specified in the update command using the save
command.
Step 1: Identify the current configuration file
To identify the current configuration file, use the show system command. For example:
digi.router> show system
Model : LR54W
Part Number : LR54-AW401
Serial Number : LR000038
