Managing the NSS Configuration

You can save the current configuration settings within a configuration file that can be used to restore
the settings at a later time. You can choose to save the configuration file to a volume on the NSS or
you can save the file to a USB flash device that is inserted into the AUX-1 port on the front of the
chassis. When you save the configuration file, it is time and date stamped and becomes available in
the list of available configuration files when you click the

Restore

button from the

Configuration

Manager

page. After you mount the USB flash device by inserting it into the AUX-1 port, make sure

you unmount the USB flash device before you remove it. (To unmount the USB flash device, display
the

Storage Status

page and then click

Unmount

.

NOTE:

If you restore a configuration file that was saved in an older version of the NSS
firmware than the current version, check the settings after you restore the file to
ensure they were updated correctly.

To display the

Configuration Manager

page, from the

Manager Menu

, click

Admin

Configuration.
