H3C Technologies H3C SecBlade SSL VPN Cards - Manual (Page 11)

• Main configuration file: The file type is M and the file extension is .cfg. By default, the SecBlade
card uses the main configuration file to load configuration information.
• Backup configuration file: The file type is B and the file extension is .cfg. When loading with the
main configuration file fails, the SecBlade card uses the backup configuration file to load
configuration information.
• Default configuration file: The file type can be M, B, or N/A, and the file extension is .cfg or .xml.
When loading the main and backup configuration files fails, the SecBlade card uses the default
configuration file (startup.cfg or system.xml) to load configuration information. If loading the default
configuration file fails, the SecBlade card boots without any configuration information.
These three types of files are stored on the CF card for all SecBlade cards except the SSL VPN cards. For
an SSL VPN card, the files are stored on the flash memory by default.
If you have loaded the three configuration files into the CF card, the SecBlade card will boot using these
three files in sequence. To change the type of a configuration file, see “ Specifying a configuration file ”
on page 9 .
NOTE:
•
Support for main and back configuration files depends on the device model.
• The configuration file name containing a drive identifier and a string terminator cannot be longer than
64 characters. For example, if the drive identifier is “CF:/”, the file name excluding the drive identifier
and string terminator can be at most [ 64 – 1 – 4 ] = 59 characters in length. Typically, a file name
excluding drive identifier and string terminator is recommended to contain no more than 16 characters.
• A configuration file name cannot contain extended ASCII characters (ASCII greater than or equal to
128), invisible characters (ASCII less than 33), “, ‘, ?, \, space, *, |, <, /, :, >, or -.
• The dot “.” can appear in a file name, but not at the beginning or end of the file name. In addition, the
file name cannot contain two consecutive dots.
• A configuration file downloaded through the WEB is still stored on the CF card.
The configuration files for SecBlade card configuration at boot time can be a file of type M or B, or a
default configuration file of type N/A, but not non-default configuration files of type N/A.
You can modify the name of a configuration file in the CF card using a command after the SecBlade card
boots. You can modify the type of a configuration file of type M, B, or N on the BootWare menu or the
command line interface (CLI) after the SecBlade card boots, but you cannot modify the type of the default
configuration file.
• There is only one configuration file of the same type (M or B) on the CF card.
2. Configuration files of ACG and IPS cards
The configuration information of an ACG or IPS card is distributed and stored in the database and
specific files.
