Chapter 5 Managing the ACE Software
Loading Configuration Files from a Remote Server
•
Upload a backup of a previously saved startup-configuration file from a
remote server. See the
“Loading Configuration Files from a Remote Server”
section.
For example, to reset the ACE startup-configuration file, enter:
host1/Admin#
clear startup-config
Loading Configuration Files from a Remote Server
You can configure the ACE by loading configuration files previously backed up
to a remote FTP, SFTP, or TFTP server. Before you begin loading a configuration
file from a remote server, ensure the following:
•
You know the location of the configuration file to be loaded from the remote
server.
•
The configuration file permissions are set to world-read.
•
The ACE has a route to the remote server. The ACE and the remote server
must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router or default gateway
to route the traffic between subnets. To check connectivity to the remote
server, use the
ping
or
traceroute
command in Exec mode. See the
Cisco
4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Routing and Bridging
Configuration Guide
for details on how to use the
ping
and
traceroute
commands.
When you copy the backup configuration file to the ACE, you copy the
configuration information to the context from where you initially executed the
copy
command. When you copy a configuration file to the ACE, ensure that the
configuration file is appropriate for use in the current context. For example, you
would copy the backup configuration file startup-config-ctx1 to context 1.
To configure the ACE using a running-configuration file or startup-configuration
file downloaded from a remote server, use the
copy
command in Exec mode.
The syntax for the command is:
copy
{
ftp://
server
/
path
[
/
filename
]
|
sftp://
[
username
@
]
server
/
path
[
/
filename
] |
tftp://
server
[
:
port
]
/
path
[
/
filename
]} {
running-config
|
startup-config
}
