Managing the configuration
You can back up, restore, save, or reset the device configuration.
Backing up the configuration
Configuration backup allows you to do the following:
•
Open and view the configuration files for the next startup, including the
.cfg
file and
.xml
file.
•
Back up the configuration files for the next startup to your local host.
IMPORTANT:
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends backing up both the
.cfg
and
.xml
files. If you back up
only the
.cfg
file, some configuration information might not be restored when, for example, the
configuration is mistakenly removed.
To back up the configuration:
1.
Select
Device
>
Configuration
from the navigation tree.
The
Backup
page appears.

file from your local host to the device.

.xml
configuration file that
was used for the next startup.
The restored configuration takes effect at the next device startup.
