DESCRIPTION

 

 

File Name

This column displays the label that identifies a configuration file.

 

 

 

You cannot delete the following configuration files or change their file

 

 

 

names.

 

 

 

The system-default.conffile contains the NWA3000-N series AP’s

 

 

 

default settings. Select this file and click Apply to reset all of the

 

 

 

NWA3000-N series AP settings to the factory defaults. This configuration

 

 

 

file is included when you upload a firmware package.

 

 

 

The startup-config.conffile is the configuration file that the NWA3000-

 

 

 

N series AP is currently using. If you make and save changes during your

 

 

 

management session, the changes are applied to this configuration file.

 

 

 

The NWA3000-N series AP applies configuration changes made in the

 

 

 

Web Configurator to the configuration file when you click Apply or OK. It

 

 

 

applies configuration changes made via commands when you use the

 

 

 

write command.

 

 

 

The lastgood.conf is the most recently used (valid) configuration file

 

 

 

that was saved when the device last restarted. If you upload and apply a

 

 

 

configuration file with an error, you can apply lastgood.conf to return to

 

 

 

a valid configuration.

 

 

 

When you change the NWA3000-N series AP’s operation mode, it backs

 

 

 

up the configuration to a xxx-backup.conf file where xxx denotes the

 

 

 

mode the NWA3000-N series AP was previously using.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Size

This column displays the size (in KB) of a configuration file.

files were last changed or saved.
