Configuring PortServer TS 8/16 from a Remote Host

This section discusses remote configuration, that is, configuring PortServer TS 8/16 from a remote host and then downloading the configuration file to PortServer TS 8/16.

When To Use Remote Configuration

Typically, you use remote configuration when you have several PortServer TS 8/16s with similar configurations and want to keep a master configuration on a remote host, from which you can easily create variations for downloading to individual PortServer TS 8/16s.

Rules for Editing a Configuration file

Here are some rules for editing a configuration file on a remote host:

•Edit the file with any text editor.

•Each line of the file must start with a set command, such as set user or set line. In other words, do not let commands wrap to the next line if your editor supports this function.

Copying the Configuration File to a Host

This section describes how to copy the PortServer TS 8/16 configuration file to a remote host for editing.

Related Information

See the cpconf command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.

Starting Point

This procedure assumes that you

•Have an existing configuration on the PortServer TS 8/16 that you want to copy to a remote host for editing

•Are logged in to PortServer TS 8/16 as root, which is a requirement for using the cpconf com- mand to copy the configuration file to a host

Procedure

1.Create a file with appropriate write permissions on the remote host.

2.Ensure that TFTP is running on the remote host.

3.Supply a cpconf command with a tohost field that specifies the following:

•The IP address of the target host

•The name of the file that will hold the configuration.

Example

cpconf tohost=199.250.121.12:cnfg-fle
