Configuration Backup/Restore
This chapter describes the process for backing up your user settings (configuration) from the line card
onto your computer and how to restore them to the line card.
12.1 Configuration Backup/Restore Overview
The line card uses FTP for configuration backup/restore through its built-in FTP server. You can use any FTP
client (for example, ftp.exe in Windows) to backup/restore the line card’s configuration.
12.2 Configuration Files of the Line card
The line card uses configuration files to store the user’s settings, so they can be applied the next time the line card
is booted. The line card has the following two configuration files:
init = The system configuration file for the line card.
password = The configuration file for the Telnet and FTP password.
12.3 Configuration Backup
You can backup all or some configuration files from the line card to your computer. Backup the system
configuration by following the example shown next.

ftp <linecard IP address>
at the computer command prompt.
