Backing Up and Restoring the Settings
Use the
System Management > Backup and Restore
page to import, export, and
copy your configuration files. The router has two configuration files: the startup
and the mirror. The Startup file is the configuration file that the router loads when it
boots up. The router automatically copies the startup file to the mirror. Thus, the
Mirror file contains the last known valid configuration. In the future, if the Startup
configuration file fails for any reason, then the Mirror configuration file is used.
NOTE
The router automatically copies the startup configuration to the mirror configuration
after 24 hours of running in stable condition (no reboot and no configuration
changes within a 24-hour period).
To open this page:
Click
System Management > Backup and Restore
in the
navigation tree.
You can perform the following tasks:
•
Restoring the Settings from a Configuration File, page 92
•
Backing Up Configuration Files and Mirror Files, page 93

Copying a Startup File or Mirror File
If needed, you can manually copy your startup configuration file to your mirror
configuration file or you can copy your mirror to your startup.
TIP
You can use this process to back up a known configuration before you make
changes. Copy the startup file to the mirror before making your changes. If you are
dissatisfied with your changes, copy the mirror to the startup to restore the
settings.
NOTE

The startup configuration file is automatically copied to the mirror
configuration file every 24 hours.

If a setting is changed, the time counter resets, and the next automatic copy
will occur 24 hours later.

the startup immediately resets the router to the factory default settings.
To copy a file, click the button:

mirror file. The copy operation is performed immediately, with no option to
