For a TFTP backup only, enter the TFTP Server IPv4 Address.
Select which configuration file you want to back up:
• Running Configuration—Current configuration, including any changes
applied in the current management session.
• Startup Configuration—Configuration file type used when the WAP device
last booted. This does not include any configuration changes applied but not
yet saved to the WAP device.
• Backup Configuration—Backup configuration file type saved on the WAP
device.
• Mirror Configuration—If the Running Configuration is not modified for at
least 24 hours, it is automatically saved to the Mirror Configuration file type,
and a log message with severity level Alert is generated to indicate that a
new Mirror Configuration file is available. The Mirror Configuration file can be
used when the WAP device has problems booting with the Startup or
Backup Configuration file types. In such cases, the administrator can copy
the Mirror Configuration to either the Startup or Backup Configuration file
type and reboot.
Click Save to begin the backup. For HTTP backups, a window displays to enable
you to browse to the desired location for saving the file.

Downloading a Configuration File

You can download a file to the WAP to update the configuration or to restore the
WAP to a previously backed-up configuration.
To download a configuration file to the WAP device:
Click Administration > Download/Backup Configuration File in the navigation
window.
Select Via TFTP or Via HTTP/HTTPS as the Transfer Method.
Select Download (PC to AP) as the Save Action.
For a TFTP download only, enter the Source File Name with an .xml extension.
Include the path (where the file exists on the server) and enter the TFTP Server
IPv4 Address.
Select which configuration file on the WAP you want to be overwritten with the
downloaded file: the Startup Configuration or the Backup Configuration.
