Netopia 4000-Series manual Configuration Management

10-44 Firmware User Guide

255.255.255.255	11111111	(Perform the logical AND)
	01100000	(Logical AND result)

Since the Source IP Network Address in the Router is 01100000, and the source IP address after the logical AND is 01100000, this rule does match and this packet will not be forwarded. This rule masks off a single IP address.

Configuration Management

Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 offers a Configuration Management feature. Configuration Management provides a way to store several router configurations in a single device for use at different times. This feature is supported on all models that support the version 5.4 firmware except the 4752 IAD.

You can store up to three configurations in the router’s memory in addition to the currently running configuration. The current configuration is the one currently booted from and is updated whenever there is a change to the router (logged events, parameter changes).

Other configurations are stored along with the current configuration. Whenever you choose, you can reboot into one of these configurations (the copy of which becomes the current configuration).

You name the saved configurations, giving you a reference for identifying each one. The naming operation occurs when you decide to save a configuration or when downloading a configuration via TFTP or X-Modem.

The configurations that are saved will persist across a Factory Default (soft or NMI). The router will reboot with a Factory Defaulted configuration, as usual, but the saved configurations are still available for use.

You save your configurations in the Configuration Management screen in the Security menus.
