Config file management
The configuration file contains all the settings that customize the operation of the controller.
You can save and restore the configuration file manually or automatically.
Select Controller >> Maintenance > Config file management.
Manual configuration file management
The following options are available for manual configuration file management.
Backup configuration
This option enables you to backup your configuration settings so they can be easily restored
in case of failure. This option is also used when you want to directly edit the configuration
file.
Before you install new software, you should always make a backup of your current
configuration. Select Backup to start the process. You will be prompted for the location to
place the configuration file.
Configuration information is saved in the backup file as follows:
Certificates and private keys: If you specify a password when saving the configuration
file, certificates and private keys are encrypted with a key based on the password. If you
do not specify a password, certificates and private keys are still encrypted, but with a
default key that is identical on all APs.
Manager and operator username/password: This information is not saved in the
backup configuration file. This means that if you restore a configuration file, the current
username and password on the AP are not overwritten.
