Managing and maintaining the system 357
You can also dump the system configuration to the screen and then use
copy-and-paste to save it to a text file. To perform a configuration dump,
use the following command:
/cfg/dump [ <private/secret keys> ]
Table 57 "Configuration menu backup and restore commands" (page
357)
provides more information about the backup and restore commands
on the Configuration menu.
Table 57
Configuration menu backup and restore commands
/cfg
followed by:
ptcfg <protocol>
<host name or
IP address of
server> <filename
on server>
Saves the current configuration, including private
keys and certificates, to a file on the specified file
exchange server. You can later use this file to restore
the configuration by using the
gtcfg command. You
are prompted to provide the following information:
•
protocol is the export protocol. Options are
tftp|ftp|scp|sftp . The default is tftp .
•
server is the host name or IP address of the file
exchange server.
•
filename is the name of the destination file on the
file exchange server.
ATTENTION
If you have fully separated the Administrator user
role from the Certificate Administrator user role,
the export passphrase defined by the Certificate
Administrator is used to protect the private keys
in the configuration, and this is transparent to the
user. If you later restore the configuration using the
gtcfg command, the Certificate Administrator must
enter the correct passphrase. For more information
on separating the Administrator user role from the
Certificate Administrator user role, see
“Adding a new
user” (page 218) .
