the startup and running configuration to a file. Supported keywords are “startup” and “running”.
b. Destination can be a local file or a remote FTP or TFTP file. Note that the combination of the Source keywords
and the remote Destination allows you to copy the running config directly to a remote server. For example; file
copy running to tftp://192.168.1.1/my-t2-config.txt

From the webUI, the administrator can save and load configuration files. Note that these configuration files are non-
editable binary format for configuration security. If editable configuration is desired, use the CLI script files.
Configuration files from the webUI can be used to create secure template configurations.
Note: The Configuration File contains every configuration possible including the “Admin” account password. When
combined with RADIUS network authentication, the non-editable Configuration Files provide a secure method to pre-
configure systems in a staging area and apply the secure “admin” password without revealing the password. Contact
a Tut Systems support person for assistance with a setting up secure, staged configurations.
To save or load a Configuration file from the webUI, access the
System – Configuration
screen from the webUI.
