Saving Your Current
Configuration
NOTE: Username
commands are not valid
in configuration files, i.e.,
save config and
restore config
operations do not include
username data.
SA9200 configurations are by default preserved across major
software updates. It is however recommended that you save your
existing SA9200 configuration while running your currently installed
software. You can save your current configuration with the
save
command.
Downloading
and Installing
the Software The process for downloading and installing the software is the same
whether the image is a version update or patch. Once the install file is
on an ftp server, you use the CLI to instruct the SA9200 to download
and install it. Although it is possible to install software while the
SA9200 is operating, it is recommended that a backup SA9200 be
configured before installation to minimize your downtime. If no
backup is available, it is best to perform installation at off-peak times.
NOTE: You need the ftp
server’s hostname, a user
name, password, and the
image’s filename. To install the image, use the command config sys software
install from the SA9200 CLI. The following is an example of the
syntax for ftp downloads.
Config sys software install ftp://
FTPURL user password
Status information appears as the installation progresses. If the install
status information indicates that the installation failed due to
incorrect URL, user name, or password information, verify this data
and reenter the command with the appropriate corrections.
