ETEP CLI User Guide
The backup copy of the file system is automatically created when the ETEP software is upgraded using
the
update-filesystem
CLI command. The ETEP maintains only one backup copy of the appliance’s file
system. After you generate a backup copy by upgrading, the previous backup copy is no longer available.
The
restore-filesystem
command is used to restore the appliance file system from the backup copy. As a
result of restoring the ETEP’s file system, the previous copy becomes the backup copy. The restore
operation can be reversed by issuing the
restore-filesystem
command a second time.
Review the following recommendations and cautions prior to restoring the file system:
●
Make sure that you know the passwords used in the backup configuration. Once the backup image is
restored on the appliance, you must use the passwords from the backup configuration to log in.
●
After restoring the file system, redeploy policies to the ETEP to ensure that the appliance is using the
current set of policies and keys.
●
The restore operation replaces the current certificate with the backup certificate. If you replaced a
certificate after the backup image was created, you will need to reinstall that certificate after the file
system is restored. Failure to do so can result in a communication failure between the ETEP and the
EncrypTight key generator.
The
restore-filesystem
command is available only to the Administrator user. See
for more information about using this command.
Restoring the Factory Configuration
Two CLI commands are available for restoring factory settings on the ETEP:
●
The
filesystem-download
command installs a new software image and removes the previous
appliance configuration files.
●
The
filesystem-reset
command restores the factory software image without installing a new software
version. It also removes the previous appliance configuration files.
Both commands remove the previous appliance configuration, passwords, certificates, throughput
licenses, and policies. The backup image is overwritten with a duplicate copy of the file system being
installed by the command. The
filesystem-download
command replaces the backup image with a copy of
the new software image, and the
filesystem-reset
command replaces the backup image with a duplicate
of the existing factory software image.
The filesystem-download and filesystem-reset commands are available from command mode to the
Administrator user. These commands automatically reboot the appliance. After the system reboots, you
will need to repeat the initial setup procedures described in
“Configuring the ETEP” on page 35
. The
appliance cannot be managed through the Ethernet management port until the management port IP
address is reset. You will also need to re-enter the throughput license.
CAUTION
The filesystem-download and filesystem-reset commands remove the policies and certificates loaded on
the appliance. After the automatic reboot, all traffic will pass in the clear until new security policies are
deployed to the appliance. The ETEP generates a new self-signed certificate after the reboot.
Backup images and factory images are created and handled independently.
