Note: On startup, the PX performs all of its functions, including event
rules and logs, based on the new configuration file you have selected
instead of the previous configuration prior to the device reset. For
example, "Bulk configuration copied" is logged only when the new
configuration file contains the "Bulk configuration copied" event rule.
Tip: You can also copy a configuration file using a Secure Copy (SCP)
command. See
Bulk Configuration via SCP (on page 541).
Backup and Restore of PX Device Settings
Different from the Bulk Configuration file, the backup file contains
device-specific data like network settings. To back up or restore PX
device settings, you should perform the Backup/Restore feature.
All PX information is captured in the XML backup file except for the
device logs and TLS certificate.
Note: To perform the bulk configuration among multiple PX devices,
perform the Bulk Configuration feature instead. See
Bulk Configuration
(on page 294).
