Configuration File Locations
Configuration and baseline files are saved in different directories depending on how they were
uploaded (manually, as a scheduled archive, or as a baseline). The default locations are as follows:
●
Configuration files that are uploaded manually (not as a scheduled operation) are stored as text files
(for ExtremeWare) or as Zip archive files (for ExtremeXOS) in the
<tftp_root> \configs
directory,
in a subdirectory hierarchy organized by year, month, and day. The file names by default are formed
from the IP address of the device with a timestamp appended. The default form of the file name for
a manually uploaded configuration file is:
View View the contents of the selected configuration file using the Configuration Viewer
Diff View the differences between two configuration files using the Diff Viewer (requires
configuration of a Diff viewer).
Baseline (valid only for devices running ExtremeWare)
Create Designate the selected saved configuration as the baseline configuration. If a device group
is selected, designates the most recent uploaded configuration file for each device as the
baseline configuration for that device. See
“Creating a Baseline Configuration File” on
page 161 .
Remove Remove the saved baseline configuration file , and reset the baseline time and baseline
filename in the status display. If a device group is selected, removes the saved baseline
files for all devices in the group, and resets the baseline status for those devices. See
“Removing a Baseline Configuration File” on page 162 .
Schedule Create a schedule for uploading configuration information that will be saved as the
baseline configuration for the device, or for all devices in a device group. See
“Scheduling
a Baseline Upload” on page 162 .
View View the baseline configuration for the selected device using the Configuration Viewer. See
“Viewing a Configuration File” on page 166 .
Diff View the differences between the selected configuration file and the baseline configuration
for the device using the Diff Viewer (requires configuration of a Diff viewer).
“Comparing
Two Configuration File—The Diff Command” on page 167 .
Restore Restores the baseline configuration to the selected device. See “Restoring a Baseline
Configuration to a Device” on page 164 .
Options
Setup Viewers Configure an alternate program to be used as the Configuration Viewer instead of the built-
in configuration Viewer. See
“Configuring a Viewer” on page 169 .
Setup Email
Notification Set up email notification for use when differences between a baseline configuration and a
newly uploaded archive configuration are detected. See
“Configuring Email Notification of
Archive/Baseline Differences” on page 157 .
