Configuration Using the Web Interface
Backup and Restore
You can use the Backup option to save the current configuration saved in
the ES8510-XTE 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 ES8510-XTE or load the same settings to another
ES8510-XTE. Before you can restore a configuration file, you must save
the backup configuration file in the PC or TFTP server. The ES8510-XTE
then downloads this file back into the flash.
The ES8510-XTE configuration file is a standard text file. You can open
the file with WordPad or Notepad. You can also modify the file, add/
remove the configuration settings, and then restore the file back to the
ES8510-XTE.
There are two modes to backup and restore the configuration file on the
web page:
•
Local File
Note: If you have a Windows operating system above Windows XP, you can use the TFTP Server method,
the CLI, PortVision DX, or apply exclusions for Java for the Windows firewall to backup or restore
configuration files.
PortVision DX supports saving and loading configuration files, without any Windows operating
system firewall restrictions.
