primary control module to the secondary control module. For syntax information,
see the Stinger Reference.
Note
To save passwords, you must have sufficient permissions to view password
fields. (For a discussion of permissions, see the Stinger Administration Guide.) Without
this permission, passwords are not properly saved.
Saving the full configuration to a local file
To save the full Stinger configuration to a file on the system you are using for
administrative access to the Stinger unit, enable the capture function in your VT100
emulation software, specify a file name, and enter the save command as follows:
admin> save -a console
The -a option saves all parameters, even those that are set to their default values. You
might want to print a copy of the configuration for later reference.
The entire configuration is written as text to the specified file. This method allows
you to cut and paste the configuration to other devices.
Saving the configuration to a network host
To save the configuration on a network host, you must specify the hostname and the
full path of a filename. In the following example, host1 is the network host and
saved.cfg is the filename:
admin> save -a network host1 saved.cfg
configuration being saved to host 10.65.212.19 file saved.cfg...
connection saved.
Restoring the configuration
You can restore a configuration that you saved with the save command by means of
the load command. The load command uploads a code image to flash or loads the
text of configuration commands from a saved file as a configuration script. The code
image or configuration text can be located on the disk of the PC you are using for the
terminal session with the Stinger unit, on a network host that supports TFTP, or on
the PCMCIA flash card file system of the control module.
For syntax information, see the Stinger Reference.
Note
You must reset the Stinger unit after reloading a configuration.
Restoring from a local file
Before you start the restore procedure, verify that your terminal emulation program
has an autotype (or ASCII file upload) feature. Autotype allows your emulator to
transmit a text file over its serial port as that file is displayed on your screen. You
must also verify that the data rate of your terminal emulation program is set to 9600
baud or lower and that the term-rate parameter in the system profile is set to the
same rate. Speeds higher than 9600 baud might cause transmission errors.
