Configuration & Log
The Configuration & Log (Backup & Download) page enables:
•
Backing up configuration files or logs from the device to an external device.
•
Restoring configuration files from an external device to the device.
When restoring a configuration file to the Running Configuration, the imported file adds any
configuration commands that did not exist in the old file and overwrites any parameter values in
the existing configuration commands.
When restoring a configuration file to the Startup Configuration or a backup configuration file, the
new file replaces the previous file.
When restoring to Startup Configuration, the device must be rebooted for the restored Startup
Configuration to be used as the Running Configuration.
You can reboot the device by using the process described in the Management Interface section.
To backup or restore the system configuration file:
1. Click Maintenance > File Management > Configuration & Log.
2. Select the File Transfer Protocol.
