Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide
3 • Import/Export
Introduction
The Import/Export function enables you to make a backup (or
export
) copy of your access server’s configura-
tion parameters. By exporting the configurations, the saved files can quickly be loaded, or
imported
, into a
replacement access server—greatly speeding up the installation process should an access server need replacing.
Note
All actions for Import/Export require superuser access privileges.
To import or export a configuration, click on
Import/Export
under the
Configuration Menu
to display the
Import/Export
main window (see
figure 6
).

Export Configuration
Note
The exported configuration file is a text-format file. Do not try, however to
edit the operating characteristics contained in the file.
Note
The parameters that will be exported are the power-up settings as they are
stored in flash memory and
may
not
be the current operating parameters. To
ensure that you export the most current parameters, go to
HOME
, then click
on the
Record Current Configuration
button under
Immediate Actions
.
