Configuration Management
The device configuration can be saved and restored in the maintenance area .
The "Config File Export" function can be used to save the current configuration as a text
file. The syntax used in the configuration file corresponds to the commands of the Telnet
console. If the configuration of a device is to be restored from a text file, load the file with
"Upload" and restart the device with "Restart Device".
Saving the configuration should only be carried out in an SSL connection, since it
contains sensitive password information (even if it is encrypted or hashed). For the same
reasons, it is advisable to carefully handle the generated configuration files when archiv-

needs. For example, one scenario would be to use a script language to automate the
creation of many customized versions of a configuration, then equip a large number of
devices with an individualized configuration. Also Upload and restart with CGI commands
can be done in scripting languages. With use of the comment sign "#" you can quickly
hide single commands or add personal notes.
If you modify a configuration file manually, it is not always clear which limits are allowed
for parameters. After uploading and restarting, commands with invalid parameters are ig-
nored. Therefore, the generated configuration includes comments describing the bound-
aries of the parameters. Where "range:" refers to a numeric value, and "len:" to a text
parameter. E.g:
email auth set 0 #range: 0..2
email user set "" #len: 0..100
The command "system fabsettings" from the beginning of a generated configuration file
brings the device into the factory state, and then executes the individual commands that
