Backup/Restore Configuration Settings

The bridge supports backup and restore of configuration settings over FTP. This

allows users to externally maintain multiple configurations of bridge settings

and to be able to restore the configurations as needed. When backing up,

configurations are saved from flash to a binary file.

Configuration backup procedure:

1. Connect the bridge to the Ethernet network used by your computer.

2. Start your FTP program using the bridge's IP address:

ftp <IP address>

The default IP address is 1.1.1.1. Refer to the information on changing the

bridge IP address in Ethernet Connection on page 64.

Note You may also need to specify the directory location on your

computer or network where your FTP program will store the

backup file.

3. Use

[root] as the user name and [password] as the password.

Refer to the information on changing the user name and password in

Ethernet Connection on page 64.

4. Specify binary mode:

Bin

5. Specify the filename (.cfg file) with the [get] command:

get filename.cfg

The file will transfer and the bridge will reboot. The bridge will then be using

the new configuration.

Note You should confirm the new configuration by checking that the

settings are correct.
