Backup and Restore via SCP
To back up ALL settings of a PRO3X, including device-specific settings, you should perform the backup operation instead of
the bulk configuration.
You can restore all settings to previous ones after a backup file is available.
To back up the settings via SCP:
1.
Type the following SCP command and press Enter.
scp <user name>@<device ip>:/backup_settings.txt
▪
<user name>
is the "admin" or any user profile with Administrator Privileges
▪
<device ip>
is the IP address or hostname of the PRO3X whose settings you want to back up.
2.
Type the user password when prompted.
3.
The system saves the settings from the PRO3X to a file named "backup_settings.txt."
To restore the settings via SCP:
1.
Type the following SCP command and press Enter.
scp backup_settings.txt <user name>@<device ip>:/settings_restore
▪
<user name>
is the "admin" or any user profile with Administrator Privileges
▪
<device ip>
is the IP address or hostname of the PRO3X whose settings you want to restore.
2.
Type the user password when prompted.
3.
The system copies the configuration included in the file "backup_settings.txt" to the PRO3X, and displays the
following message.
Starting restore operation. The connection will be closed now.
SCP examples:
