Avocent Cyclades-PR2000 Instructions for creating a backup of the configuration file

Cyclades-PR2000

STEP SIX

The multilink circuit can be tested by temporarily deactivating the interface on the primary link. This is done in the ADMIN=> START/STOP INTERFACE menu by selecting the SWAN interface. If there is traffic, the backup link should then take over, and the menu item INFO =>SHOW ROUTING TABLE will show that the backup link is working. (To create traffic, try pinging a host in the destination network.) At this point, you should create a backup of the configuration file (in binary) and print out a listing of the configuration.

Instructions for creating a backup of the configuration file:

Use the menu option ADMIN =>WRITE CONFIGURATION =>TO FTP SERVER. Fill in the IP address of the computer where the configuration file should be saved, the file name, the directory name, and the user account information. This configuration file can later be downloaded with the ADMIN =>LOAD CONFIGURATION =>FTP SERVER option.

Instructions for listing the configuration:

The menu option INFO =>SHOW CONFIGURATION =>ALL will list to the terminal screen the configuration of the router. This can be saved in a text file and/or printed on a printer.
