Export Configuration
The Export Configuration function is a handy tool that can be used to produce a text file that contains the
current configuration of a particular NPort.
If you are using the NPort 5100 Series, NPort 5200 Series, or NPort IA5000 Series and Administration Suite
v1.22 or above, to export the configuration of an NPort, right-click
NPort
, select
Export Configuration
. An
Export Password window will pop up for the user to assign a password for the exported configuration file.
The exported configuration file will be encrypted for security purpose. You will need the same password you
use for the exported file to import the same file back into the NPort.
After assigning the export password, click the
Browse
button to set the file name and path, and then click
OK
.
For the overall NPort 5000 Series with security enhanced firmware version, export configuration encryption
will be based on the Pre-shared key defined in the NPort (default is empty password, and you may configure
the password in
Configuration -> Configuration Pre-shared Key
. So when you are exporting the
configuration file, you are only required to select the output file location. You may refer to page 2-21 for the
security firmware version for your NPort.
