Backup/Restore
It is recommended that you save your current vNet Device
configuration settings to a backup file, so they can be restored at a
later time. You can also use this backup file to save time when
configuring other vNet Devices (see page 25).
When restoring vNet Device settings using a configuration
backup file that was created by a different vNet Device, consider
the following:
• The configuration backup file is a plain text file that can be
edited.
• You can remove items from the configuration backup file if you
do not want to change specific settings (such as NetBIOS
name).
• There are vNet Device-specific items in the configuration
backup file that are for informational purposes only and do not
get applied when the file is restored (such as serial number,
MAC address, model name and description).
Item Configuration
UseDhcp • When UseDhcp = true, DHCP is enabled and the
vNet Device tries to automatically acquire IP set-
tings.
• When UseDhcp = false, the vNet Device uses the
user-defined IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway
items in the configuration file.
IpAddr The IP address used if UseDhcp = false.
Subnet-
Mask The Subnet mask used if UseDhcp = false.
Gateway-
Addr The Gateway address used if UseDhcp = false.
