5.12 Saveconf and Restoreconf
The ACS has two utilities that are responsible for saving and restoring the
unit’s configuration. Both are going to be described in this section.
Saveconf Utility
The syntax is:
# saveconf [media <media parameters>]
Where media can be any of these options:
• <none> - Save the configuration to internal flash
• local <remote Path and filename> - Save the configuration to the
local file <remote Path and filename>
• ftp <remote Path and filename> <IP address of the FTP server>
<username> <password> - Save the configuration to the
remote FTP server
• sd [default] [replace] - Save the configuration to the PCMCIA
storage device (Compact Flash or IDE)
The new media is storagedevice which has the two parameters, default
and replace .
The saveconf utility creates one file in the storage device to save the
default and replace flags. The filename is: /mnt/ide/proc/flash/
storageOptions and it can contain the words DEFAULT and/or REPLACE .
Restoreconf Utility
The syntax is :
# restoreconf [media <media parameters>]
Where media can be any of these options:
• <none> - Read the configuration file from the PCMCIA storage
device and if the DEFAULT flag is set, use this file as the con-
figuration default and if the REPLACE flag is set, copy this file
to the internal flash of the ACS. If the DEFAULT flag is not set
or there is no configuration file in the PCMCIA storage device,
read the configuration from the internal flash
• local <remote Path and filename> - Read the configuration from
the local file <remote Path and filename>.
