Data Storage
Configuration backup is inherent in the AIM24000. Upon initial power up of the
host BLC, default parameters of the AIM24000 will remain in place unless
changed through the NMS, CLI, or SNMP.
Memory
AIM24000 parameter configurations are automatically recorded in both the
Random Access Memory (RAM) of the AIM24000 and the Non-Volatile Random
Access Memory (NVRAM) of the BLC's management module.
RAM
Statistical data stored only in AIM24000 RAM, such as traffic statistics and link
up/down time, will be erased if the module is removed from the BLC or the BLC
loses power.
NVRAM
AIM24000 data stored in the BLC's management module NVRAM, such as port
parameter configurations, will remain intact (even if the BLC loses power) unless
deliberately cleared or reconfigured.
Uploading a Port Template
AIM24000 port configurations can be flash uploaded from your BLC management
module to a file on your PC or local network via a Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP) tool and a
get
command. A port template file contains all of a selected
port's configurations except Circuit ID.
