Transferring Configuration Files
The AT-CV5M02 Management Card has two configuration file. One of the
files is the master configuration file. This file contains nearly all of the
parameter settings of the management card itself and all of the parameter
settings of the local and remote AT-CM Line Cards. The second file is the
SNMPv3 configuration file, which contains the SNMPv3 settings on the
management card. For information on these files, refer to “Configuration
Files” on page 32.
You can upload and download these files to a TFTP server. You might do
this to maintain a history of the configuration settings of the chassis or to
transfer the files to another management card in a different chassis. Of
course, if you never use the SNMPv3 feature on the management card,
you can ignore that configuration file.
