Note:
When replacing the RSA in an S8500 server functioning as the Secure Services
Note:
Gateway (SSG) for a Secure Access and Control (SAC) deployment, back up the
SSG configuration. For information on how to backup the SSG configuration, see
Secure Services Gateway (SSG) Maintenance Guide, 19-300174. Backing up
the server is not applicable for the SSG.
Backup the RSA configuration before shutting down the S8500 server. If it is not possible to
backup the RSA at this time, locate the most recent RSA backup file before proceeding.
Complete the following steps to backup the RSA configuration:
1. Establish a connection from the services laptop to the RSA:
Direct connect through a crossover cable from the laptop to the Ethernet port on the RSA
