Use this information to save a CMM configuration.
Attention:
- Please make sure local user account passwords are known before unmanaging
from LXCA.
- Unmanage from LXCA before backing up the configuration.
- You should save the CMM configuration.
Saving the configuration allows you to restore the saved settings
if a CMM is
replaced or if configuration information is corrupted or lost. You
must save the CMM configuration
before replacing a CMM or
restoring a CMM to
the manufacturing default configuration, if you intend to restore
the configuration.
- If you are managing you chassis using an external management
device, record the management device password in use at the time of
the backup: this password will be required to restore the backup.
You can save the CMM configuration
in two ways:
- In the CMM web
interface, configurations are applied from the Manage Configuration
page (select Configuration from the Mgt Module Management menu).
See Saving a CMM configuration for more information. All fields and options
are fully described in the CMM web interface online help.
- In the CMM CLI,
use the write command (see write command for information about command
use).
Note: The CMM operates
in secure mode by default. When the CMM is
in secure mode, only the secure file transfer methods HTTPS and SFTP
can be used for firmware updates and other tasks involving file transfers,
such as transferring a backup configuration file to restore a CMM configuration.
The unsecure file transfer protocols HTTP, FTP, and TFTP are disabled
when the CMM is
in secure mode.
