ptcfg
<TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP server>
<server host name/IP address> <file name>
This command saves the current configuration, including private keys and certificates, to
a file on the selected TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP server. The information is saved in a plain-
text file, and can later be restored by using the
gtcfg
command.
You will be prompted to specify a password phrase before the information is sent to the
TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP server. The password phrase is used to encrypt all included pri-
vate keys. If you later restore the configuration using the
gtcfg
command, you will be
prompted to reenter the password phrase.
gtcfg
<TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP server>
<file name>
This command retrieves and applies a configuration file, including private keys and cer-
tificates, from the selected TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP server. You will be prompted to enter
the same password phrase supplied when the file was created using the
ptcfg
com-
mand.

dump
This command displays the current configuration parameters in CLI compatible format.
You can capture the screen display and save the configuration to a text editor file by per-
forming a copy-and-paste operation. The configuration can later be restored by pasting
the contents of the saved text file at any command prompt in the CLI.
When pasted, the content is batch processed by the Nortel Switched Firewall. To view
the pending configuration changes resulting from the batch processing, use the
diff
command. To apply the configuration changes, use the
apply
command.
If you choose to include private keys in the configuration dump, you are required to
specify a password phrase. The password phrase you specify will be used to encrypt all
secret information. When restoring a configuration that includes secret information, use
the global
paste
command. Before pasting the configuration, you will be prompted to
reenter the password phrase.
