F Saving and restoring the
mpx100/100b configuration
The mpx100/100b configuration information is saved as a .bin or .tgz file, depending on the method
used to restore the mpx100/100b persistent data. The mpx100/100b configuration information is
saved and restored using the mpx Manager GUI or the mpx100/100b CLI commands. This appendix
contains the following information:
• Saving the MPX100 configuration , page 213
• Restoring the MPX100 configuration , page 214
NOTE:
As with any important database, the mpx100/100b persistent data should be periodically saved to avoid
data loss from hardware or software errors. It is also important to save the configuration information
before replacing the mpx100/100b.
Saving the mpx100/100b configuration
Using the mpx100/100b GUI to save configuration information allows you to save the file to any location
available to the server running the GUI.

FTP directory. You must then move the file using FTP from the mpx100/100b.
