4: Configuration Using XML
The following syntax can be used to export configurations to a file on the device server’s file system:
xcr export <file>
xcr export <file> <groups and/or group:instances>
The same guidelines above regarding importing configurations also apply to exporting configurations. If no groups are specified, then the export command will export all configuration settings to the file. If instances are specified after the groups, only those group instances are written. If no instance is specified, all instances of that group are written.
Exporting
The following example exports only the accept mode tunneling settings for line 1 to the file “tunnel_1.xcr” on the device server filesystem:
xcr export tunnel_1.xcr “tunnel accept:1”
The following example exports only the connect mode tunneling settings for all ports to the file “tunnel_all.xcr” on the device server filesystem:
xcr export tunnel_all.xcr “tunnel connect”
The following example imports only the settings for line 2 from a XCR named “factory_config.xcr” on the device server filesystem. If “factory_config.xcr” has other configuration settings, they are ignored:
xcr import factory_config.xcr “line:2”
The following example imports only line settings for all ports from a configuration record on the device server filesystem named “foobar.xcr”:
xcr import foobar.xcr “line”
To import only disconnect mode tunneling settings for port 1 and serial line settings for port 2 from an XML configuration record named “production.xcr” that contains these settings (and possibly more), issue the following command:
xcr import production.xcr "tunnel disconnect:1, line:2"
The following example imports all tunneling settings and line settings for all serial ports from a file named xcr_file:
xcr import xcr_file "tunnel accept, tunnel connect, tunnel disconnect, tunnel modem, tunnel packing, tunnel serial, tunnel start, tunnel stop, line"
The following example exports only accept mode tunneling settings on serial port 1, and line settings on serial port 2 to a file named tunnel_config_t1_l2.xcr on the device server filesystem.
xcr export tunnel_config_t1_l2.xcr "tunnel accept:1, line:2"
The following example exports connect mode tunneling and line settings for all ports to the file tunnel_config.xcr on the device server filesystem:
xcr export tunnel_config.xcr "tunnel, line"
Passwords in the XML File
If you log in to a device server to which you will be pasting an XCR, you do not need to include passwords in the file, because you are already logged into the device. However, if you send an XCR to one or more devices that are password protected, you can include the appropriate passwords in the XCR and skip the login steps.
