Configuration files
The configuration files store configuration information of SecBlade SSL VPN cards. By default, three
configuration files are defined to load configuration information at the SecBlade SSL VPN card boot.
l Main configuration file: The file type is M and the file extension is .cfg. By default, the SecBlade
SSL VPN card uses the main configuration file to load configuration information.
l Backup configuration file: The file type is B and the file extension is .cfg. When loading with the
main configuration file fails, the SecBlade SSL VPN card uses the backup configuration file to
load configuration information.
l Default configuration file: The file type can be M, B, or N/A, and the file extension is .cfg. When
loading the main and backup configuration files fails, the SecBlade SSL VPN card uses the
default configuration file (startup.cfg) to load configuration information. If loading the default
configuration file fails, the SecBlade SSL VPN card boots without any configuration information.
These three types of files are stored on the CF card for all SecBlade SSL VPN cards except the SSL
VPN cards. For an SSL VPN card, the files are stored on the flash memory by default.
If you have loaded the three configuration files into the flash memory, the SecBlade SSL VPN card
will boot using these three files in sequence. To change the type of a configuration file, refer to
“Specifying a configuration file” on page 15.
l The configuration file name containing a drive identifier and a string terminator cannot be longer
than 64 characters. For example, if the drive identifier is “CF:/”, the file name excluding the drive
identifier and string terminator can be at most [ 64 – 1 – 4 ] = 59 characters in length. Typically, a
file name excluding drive identifier and string terminator is recommended to contain no more than
16 characters.
l A configuration file name cannot contain extended ASCII characters (ASCII greater than or equal
to 128), invisible characters (ASCII less than 33), “, ‘, ?, \, space, *, |, <, /, :, >, or -.
l The dot “.” can appear in a file name, but not at the beginning or end of the file name. In addition,
the file name cannot contain two consecutive dots.
l A configuration file downloaded through the WEB is still stored on the CF card.
