NWA1000 Series to your computer and upload configuration files from your computer to the NWA1000
Series.
Once your NWA1000 Series is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you
back up your configuration file before making further configuration changes. The backup configuration
file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.
Configuration File Flow at Restart
• If there is not a startup-config.conf when you restart the NWA1000 Series (whether through a
management interface or by physically turning the power off and back on), the NWA1000 Series uses
the system-default.conf configuration file with the NWA1000 Series’s default settings.
•If there is a startup-config.conf, the NWA1000 Series checks it for errors and applies it. If there are no
errors, the NWA1000 Series uses it and copies it to the lastgood.conf configuration file as a back up
file. If there is an error, the NWA1000 Series generates a log and copies the startup-config.conf
configuration file to the startup-config-bad.conf configuration file and tries the existing lastgood.conf
configuration file. If there isn’t a lastgood.conf configuration file or it also has an error, the NWA1000
Series applies the system-default.conf configuration file.
• You can change the way the startup-config.conf file is applied. Include the setenv-startup stop-
on-error off command. The NWA1000 Series ignores any errors in the startup-config.conf file and
applies all of the valid commands. The NWA1000 Series still generates a log for any errors.
