4.4.1 Configuring SNMP

SETTINGS from the menu on the left.
2 In the SNMP OPTIONS frame, enter valid values into the
relevant fields (described above).
3 Click Apply .
4.5 Backing Up and Restoring
The backup function of the Bridge creates and downloads a
configuration file that can be used to restore those Bridge
settings it saves. You can create multiple backup files under
pathnames of your choosing.
Table 4.1 shows those configuration settings that are saved to,
and so will be restored from, a backup file.
NOTE: The Bridge
Mode setting, which
determines whether a
Fortress Bridge in bridge
mode will act a root or a
non-root node, is not
backed up.
Because recording them could pose a security risk, no
passwords are backed up. In order to maintain network
security, after restoring from a backup file all passwords must
be reset for each of the Bridge’s password-protected accounts:
‹ Bridge GUI admin and operator accounts
‹ Bridge CLI account
Fortress Technologies recommends backing up your Bridge
configuration:
‹ when you first set up the Bridge
‹ immediately before you upgrade Bridge software or make
significant configuration changes
‹ after you have tested significant configuration changes and
they have proved fully operational
