Backing Up and Restoring Configurations (CLI)
You can import and export PTP 850 configuration files. This enables you to copy the system configuration to
multiple PTP 850 units. You can also backup and save configuration files.
Configuration files can only be copied between units of the same type, i.e., PTP 850E to PTP 850E to PTP 850E.
Note that you can also write CLI scripts that will automatically execute a series of commands when the
configuration file is restored. For information, refer to
Editing CLI Scripts (CLI) .
This section includes:

Configuration Management Overview (CLI)
System configuration files consist of a zip file that contains three components:
•
A binary configuration file used by the system to restore the configuration.
• A text file which enables users to examine the system configuration in a readable format. The file includes the
value of all system parameters at the time of creation of the backup file.
•
An additional text file which enables you to write CLI scripts in order to make desired changes in the backed-
up configuration. This file is executed by the system after restoring the configuration.
The system provides three restore points to manage different configuration files. Each restore point contains a
single configuration file. Files can be added to the restore points by creating backups of the current system state or
by importing them from an external server. For example, you may want to use one restore point to keep a last
good configuration, another to import changes from an external server, and the third to store the current
configuration.
You can apply a configuration file to the system from any of the restore points.
You must configure from 1 to 3 restore points:
•
When you import a configuration file, the file is saved to the selected restore point, and overwrites whichever
file was previously held in that restore point.
• When you export a configuration file, the file is exported from the selected restore point.
•
When you backup the current configuration, the backup configuration file is saved to the selected restore
point, and overwrites whichever file was previously held in that restore point.
• When you restore a configuration, the configuration file in the selected restore point is the file that is
restored.
