Configuration Using the Web Interface

Backup and Restore

You can use the Backup option to save the current configuration saved in
the ES7528 flash to a PC/laptop or a TFTP server.

This allows you to use the Restore option to restore a configuration file
back to the ES7528 or load the same settings to another ES7528. Before
you can restore a configuration file, you must save the backup
configuration file in the PC or TFTP server. The ES7528 then downloads
this file back into the flash.

The ES7528 configuration file is a standard text file. You can open the file
with WordPad or Notepad. You can also modify the file, add/remove the
configuration settings, and then restore the file back to the ES7528.

There are two modes to backup and restore the configuration file on the
web page:

•

Local File

Note: If you have a Windows operating system above Windows XP, you can use the TFTP Server method,

the CLI, PortVision DX, or apply exclusions for Java for the Windows firewall to backup or restore
configuration files.

PortVision DX supports saving and loading configuration files, without any Windows operating
system firewall restrictions.
