35.2 Configuration File

Click Maintenance > File Manager > Configuration File to open this screen.
Use the Configuration File screen to store, run, and name configuration files.
You can also download configuration files from the NXC to your computer and
upload configuration files from your computer to the NXC.
Once your NXC is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended
that you back up your configuration file before making further configuration
changes. The backup configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to
your previous settings.
Configuration File Flow at Restart
• If there is not a startup-config.conf when you restart the NXC (whether
through a management interface or by physically turning the power off and back
on), the NXC uses the system-default.conf configuration file with the NXC's
default settings.
• If there is a startup-config.conf, the NXC checks it for errors and applies it. If
there are no errors, the NXC uses it and copies it to the lastgood.conf
configuration file as a back up file. If there is an error, the NXC generates a log
and copies the startup-config.conf configuration file to the startup-config-
bad.conf configuration file and tries the existing lastgood.conf configuration
file. If there isn't a lastgood.conf configuration file or it also has an error, the
NXC applies the system-default.conf configuration file.
• You can change the way the startup-config.conf file is applied. Include the
setenv-startup stop-on-error off command. The NXC ignores any errors in
the startup-config.conf file and applies all of the valid commands. The NXC
still generates a log for any errors.
