How to Export Configuration Settings

Retrieving and Exporting the .ini File

Summary of the procedure

As an Administrator, you can retrieve a dynamically generated .ini file of a Switched Rack PDU’s current configuration and export that file to another Switched Rack PDU or to multiple Switched Rack PDUs.

1.Configure a Switched Rack PDU to have the settings you want to export.

2.Retrieve the .ini file from that Rack PDU.

3.Customize the .ini file (to change at least the TCP/IP settings) and make a copy to export.

4.Use any of the file transfer protocols supported by the Switched Rack PDU to transfer the copied file to one or more additional Rack PDUs. (To transfer the file to multiple Rack PDUs simultaneously, write an FTP or SCP script that repeats the steps for transferring the file to a single Rack PDU.)

5.Each receiving Switched Rack PDU stores the file temporarily in its flash memory, uses it to reconfigure its own Rack PDU settings, and then deletes the file.
