To protect your configuration, you can back up the current configuration and then
display it to confirm that is the configuration you want to save. If you need to
restore this configuration, you can merge the backup configuration file with the
current configuration or overwrite the current configuration file with the backup
configuration file.
To back up your current configuration, follow these steps:
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Save the current configuration:
sensor# copy current-config backup-config
The current configuration is saved in a backup file.
Display the backup configuration file:
sensor# more backup-config
The backup configuration file is displayed.
You can either merge the backup configuration with the current configuration, or
you can overwrite the current configuration.
To merge the backup configuration into the current configuration:
•
sensor# copy backup-config current-config
To overwrite the current configuration with the backup configuration:
•
sensor# copy/erase backup-config current-config
Use the show events command to display the local event log. You can display new
events or events from a specific time or of a specific severity, and you can delete
all events.
