Configuration Using the Web Interface

Backup and Restore

Use the Backup option to save the current configuration saved in
the ES7510 flash to a PC/laptop or a TFTP server.

This allows you to use the Restore option to restore a
configuration file back to the ES7510 or load the same settings to
another ES7510. Before you can restore a configuration file, you
must save the backup configuration file in the PC or TFTP server.
The ES7510 then downloads this file back into the flash.

The ES7510configuration file is a standard text file. You can open
the file with Word or Notepad. You can also modify the file, add/
remove the configuration settings, and then restore the file back to
the ES7510.

There are two modes to backup and restore the configuration file:

•

Local File

restore configuration files.

operating systems must use the TFTP method. This mode is only provided by the
web user interface as the backup and restore functions are not supported by the CLI.
For procedures, see

TFTP Server: The ES7510 acts as a TFTP client. This mode can be used in both the
CLI and web user interface. For procedures, see
