STEP 3 Click Save and choose a file location. Optionally, enter a filename and click Save.
TIP The default filenames are Startup.config and Mirror.config. The .config extension is
required. For easier identification, it might be helpful to enter a filename that includes the current date and time.
Copying the Mirror File to the Startup File
You can manually copy the device startup configuration file to the mirror configuration file.
You can use this process to back up a known good configuration before you make changes to the startup configuration:
•The startup configuration file is automatically copied to the mirror configuration file every 24 hours.
•When you save changes to the device parameters, the time counter resets and the next automatic copy occurs 24 hours later, unless you manually force the startup file to be saved as the mirror file.
To copy the startup file to the mirror file, click Copy Mirror to Startup. The copy operation is performed immediately, with no option to cancel. When the operation is finished, the page refreshes.
Sanitizing the Configuration
Sanitizing the configuration deletes the mirror file and the startup configuration file.
To delete the mirror file and the startup configuration file, click Sanitize
Configuration.
!
CAUTION The mirror configuration is deleted immediately, with no option to cancel the operation. The device is reset to use default settings, and is restarted.
Backing Up the Firmware to a USB Flash Drive
To back up the firmware to a Flash drive on the USB port, select the port from the
image.bin.
