Saving the
Configurations of
the Remote
AT-CM Line
Cards
The Converteon product has a series of OAM-based features. One of
them is remote peer management. This feature lets you manage remote
AT-CM Line Cards from their local line card counterparts that are installed
in a chassis that has the AT-CV5M02 Management Card. The value to this
feature is that it can save you from having to travel to the remote sites
when you need to configure the remote cards.
Remote line cards function exactly the same as local line cards when it
comes to saving their configuration changes. When you configure the
parameter settings on the remote line cards through remote peer
management, they immediately save their changes in their configuration
files in flash memory for permanent storage. There is no save command
for you to perform and the settings are retained even if the remote line
cards are powered off or are removed from their chassis.
But, just like the configurations of the local line cards, the parameter
settings of the remote line cards can also be stored in the master
configuration file of the local AT-CV5M02 Management Card. Once stored
there, the configurations can be restored to the remote cards, if the need
arises. For instance, if you replace a remote line card, you could restore
the predecessor’s configuration to the new card so that it has the same
settings.
The commands for saving the configurations of the remote line cards to
the master configuration file are the same as those for the local cards. To
save the configuration of a single remote line card, use the Save Line Card
Configuration command from the menus or the Save Current
Configuration from the web browser windows. To save the configurations
of all of the local and remote line cards, use the Save All CM Line Card
Configuration menu command or web browser button.
Updating the
Master
Configuration
File on a Standby
Management
Card
If the AT-CV5000 Chassis has two AT-CV5M02 Management Cards, an
active card and a standby card, the active card automatically updates the
master configuration file on the standby card. This is explained in “Active
and Standby Management Cards” on page 36.
You can manually update the master configuration file on the standby card
using two of the commands in the Management Card Redundancy menu
and tab, shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23, respectively.
