Importing/exporting configurations
All of the configuration settings for an Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point can be obtained
from another Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point in the form of a text file. Additionally, all of
the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point’s settings can be downloaded to another Brocade
Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point. Use the file-based configuration feature to speed up the setup
process significantly at sites using multiple Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Points.
Another benefit is the opportunity to save the current AP configuration before making significant
changes or restoring the default configuration. All options on the access point are deleted and
updated by the imported file. Therefore, the imported configuration is not a merge with the
configuration of the target access point. The exported file can be edited with any document editor if
necessary.
NOTE
Use the System Settings screen as necessary to restore an Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access
Point’s default configuration. For more information on restoring configurations, see
“Configuring
system settings” on page 56.
NOTE
For configuration file creation and export operations, only the set
radio-config (1-7, depending on the SKU) shall be supported.
The export function will always export the encrypted Admin User password. The import function will
import the Admin Password only if the access point is set to factory default. If the access point is
not configured to factory default settings, the Admin User password WILL NOT get imported.
A configuration file from a dual radio Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point can be imported to
another dual radio model Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point.
NOTE
When modifying the text file manually and spaces are used for wireless, security, MU policy names
etc., ensure you use “\20” between the spaces. For example, “Second\20Floor\20Lab”. When
imported, the name would display as “Second Floor Lab”.
Enable logging to an
external syslog server The Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point can log events to
an external syslog (system log) server. Select the Enable logging to
an external syslog server checkbox to enable the server to listen
for incoming syslog messages and decode the messages into a log
for viewing.
Syslog server IP
address If the Enable logging to an external syslog server checkbox is
selected, the numerical (non DNS name) IP address of an external
syslog server is required in order to route the syslog events to that
destination.
