Saving SNA Settings
534
All changes made in the SNA system itself (not using services) can be saved. These settings
are then available to the next SNA session launched on the network. This saved information is
also available the next time you access the network from any SNA-device connected to the
same network, and from any browser, as long as you use the same username for the next login.
When saving the settings, SNA attempts to save the changes in all detected online SNA
devices (in a special SNA folder on the flash). If no copy of the settings can be saved, you are
alerted of the failure.
If the save operation failed on any or all of the devices, you can request a report showing the
devices on which the settings were not saved. Each device in the report displays its ID and the
error that was recorded on it.
While operating SNA, if a newer version of the SNA settings is detected on any device in the
network, you are alerted that a newer version was detected (including the time it was created
and the device it was detected on), and prompted to select the version of settings that SNA
should use.
The following settings can be saved:
•
Positions of all backbone devices in the network.
•
Any client device designated as a backbone device retains this status.
•
Any tag manually added to elements in the network.
•
Any device manually added to the network.
•
A description string for backbone devices.
•
The blacklist used by the DAC.
In addition to saving SNA settings to the network, you can also export and import settings to
an external file for an additional backup.
Importing a file or accepting a newer file that was detected on the network overrides the
current SNA settings with the ones from the new file. After the file is imported and the
topology is updated to the new parameters, you are prompted to keep the changes or revert
back to the previous settings.
If you choose to keep the changes, the new settings are saved to all devices in the network. If
you choose to revert to the previous settings, the topology returns to the previous settings.
If you manually save the settings after importing a new file, the option to revert is no longer
available
