Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector 1100 User Manual page 271

1. Go to Administer > Backup.
2. Under Restore Configuration, click Browse.
3. Locate a previously saved backup file, select the file, and then click Open.
4. Three restore options appear:
• Restore everything: Select this option if you want the device to use all the settings
configured in the backup file (including the IP address, wireless settings, access control
lists, AP and WLAN group configurations, etc.).
NOTE: If you use the Restore everything option to restore settings from one ZoneDirector
unit to another, note that wireless clients reporting to the AP managed by the first ZoneDirector
unit will need to go through Zero-IT activation again to obtain new client certificates. Zero-IT
activation is enabled by default, therefore no manual configuration is required from you.
• Restore everything, except system name and IP address settings (for failover deploy-
ment at the same site): Select this option if you are deploying a second ZoneDirector
for failover purposes.
• Restore only WLAN settings, access control list, roles, and users (use this as a template
for different sites): Select this option if you want to use the backup file as a configuration
template.
5. Click the Restore button.
ZoneDirector restores the backup file. During this process, ZoneDirector automatically logs you
out of the Web interface. When the restore process is complete, ZoneDirector automatically
restarts and your wireless network will be ready for use again.
Restoring AP Configuration Settings Only
You can also restore previously saved access point configurations from a backup file without
restoring any other ZoneDirector configuration settings. This feature can be useful in deploying
N+1 redundancy. For example, if three ZoneDirector 1100 controllers are deployed in different
locations and with one ZoneDirector 3000 serving as a backup, you can use this feature to
export AP lists from the three ZD1100s and import them one by one into the ZD3000. For more
information on N+1 redundancy deployment, see
Redundancy" on page 171.
To restore an AP list from a backup file without altering ZoneDirector settings
1. Go to Configure > Access Points.
2. Under the Access Points table, click the Browse button near the line that begins "If you
need to import the APs configuration...".
3. Browse to a previously saved backup file, select the file and click Open. The page refreshes
and the name of the backup file you selected is displayed, along with the option to either
import this file and reboot, or import this file and continue importing additional files before
reboot.
• To import this file only, select Import this backup file and then reboot. ZoneDirector will
reboot after loading your AP list.
