•
Startup Configuration
—
Configuration file type used when the WAP device last booted. This does not include
any configuration changes applied but not yet saved to the WAP device.
•
Backup Configuration
—
Backup configuration file type saved on the WAP device.
•
Mirror Configuration
—
If the Startup Configuration is not modified for at least 24 hours, it is automatically
saved to a mirror configuration file. The Mirror Configuration is a snapshot of a past Startup Configuration. The
Mirror Configuration is preserved across factory resets, so it can be used to recover a system configuration after a
factory reset by copying the Mirror Configuration to the Startup Configuration.
Step 7
Click
Save
to begin the backup. For HTTP/HTTPS backups, a window appears to enable you to browse to the desired
location for saving the file.
Download Configuration Files
You can download a file to the WAP device to update the configuration or to restore the WAP device to a
previously backed-up configuration.
To download a configuration file to the WAP device:
Step 1
Select
Administration >Configuration Files> Download/Backup
.
Step 2
Select
Via TFTP
or
Via HTTP/HTTPS
as the transfer method.
Step 3
Select
Download (PC to Access Point)
to backup the configuration data to the PC.
Step 4
For a TFTP backup, enter the Destination File Name with an.xml extension. Also include the path where the file is to
be stored on the server and then enter the TFTP Server IPv4 Address.
The filename cannot contain the following characters: spaces, <, >, |, \, : , (, ), &, ; , #, ? , *, and two or more successive
periods.
Step 5
Select
Startup Configuration
or
Backup Configuration
to replace the file with the downloaded file.
If the downloaded file overwrites the Startup Configuration file, and the file passes a validity check, then the downloaded
configuration takes effect the next time the WAP device reboots.
Step 6
Click
Save
to begin the upgrade or backup. For HTTP/HTTPS downloads, a window appears to enable you to browse
to select the file to download.
Ensure that the power to the WAP device remains uninterrupted while the configuration file is downloading.
If a power failure occurs while downloading the configuration file, the file is lost and the process must be
restarted.
Caution
Copying Configuration Files
You can copy files within the WAP device file system. For example, you can copy the Backup Configuration
file to the Startup Configuration file type, so that it is used the next time you boot up the WAP device.
