Importing/exporting configurations
4
CAUTION
If errors occur when importing the configuration file, a parsing message displays defining the line
number where the error occurred. The configuration is still imported, except for the error.
Consequently, it is possible to import an invalid configuration. The user is required to fix the
problem and repeat the import operation until an error-free import takes place.
NOTE
Brocade recommends importing configuration files using the CLI. If errors occur during the
import process, they display all at once and are easier to troubleshoot. The access point GUI
displays errors one at a time, and troubleshooting can be a more time-consuming process.
NOTE
When importing the configuration, a xxxxxbytes loaded status message indicates the file was
downloaded successfully. An Incompatible Hardware Type Error message indicates the
configuration was not applied due to a hardware compatibility issue between the importing
and exporting devices.
5. Click Apply to save the filename and Server IP information. The Apply button does not execute
the import or export operation, only saves the settings entered.
6. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings displayed on Config Import/Export screen to the last saved configuration.
7. Click Logout to securely exit the Mobility 5181 Access Point applet. A prompt displays
confirming the logout before the applet is closed.
Status After executing an operation (by clicking any of the buttons in the
window), check the Status field for a progress indicator and
messages about the success or errors in executing the
Import/Export operation. Possible status messages include:

unknown input before marker: line <number>
ignored input after marker: line <number>
additional input required after marker: line <number>
invalid input length: line <number>
error reading input: line <number>
