Restoring System Database Files
If your system, module, and connection configuration database files become
corrupted or otherwise unusable, you must restore them from your backup
storage medium to the CPU hard disk by using one of the following methods:
•
Download the database files using FTP server software (see ”Restoring
Database Files Using FTP” on page 7-30)
•
Transfer files using the XModem or YModem serial transfer protocol (see
”Restoring Database Files Using XModem/YModem File Transfer” on
page 7-32)
Configuration and
Connection Data Files
The files containing your configuration and connection data are named as
follows:
•
System configuration database—ssid.def
•
Password setup—console.def (this file exists only if you have changed
your password from the system default password)
•
Module configuration database—ecd.def
•
Pnni configuration database—pnnimib.db
•
Connection configuration database—cnctn.db
•
Soft-pvc configuration database—spvc.db
•
Firmware configuration database—fwc.def
•
Event management configuration information—eventmgr.cfg
•
IISP CBR route table—iisp.cbr (this file exists even if you have no
configured SVCs on your Access Concentrator system)
•
IISP VBR route table—iisp.vbr (this file exists even if you have no
configured SVCs on your Access Concentrator system)
