Saving The Current Configuration - Linksys NSS4000 Series Administrator's Manual

Saving the Current Configuration

You can save a copy of the NSS configuration that can be used should you need to restore the settings
at a later time. When you save the configuration file, it saves a date-stamped version of the current
configuration settings to the specified volume on the NSS. You can choose to save the current
configuration settings to a specified volume on the NSS or you can save the file to a USB flash device
inserted into the AUX-1 port.
NOTE: If you restore a configuration file that was saved in an older version of the NSS
firmware than the current version, check the settings after you restore the file to
ensure they were updated correctly.
To save the current configuration:
1. If you are saving the configuration file to a USB flash device, insert a USB flash device into the
AUX-1 port on the NSS chassis.
2. From the Manager Menu, click Admin
The Configuration Manager page appears.
3. Select the location where the backup is saved from the Stored Configuration Location drop-
down menu. To save the configuration file to a USB flash device, select the AUX-1port as the
location. You can then copy the configuration file from the USB flash device to another location
on your network.
4. Click Update.
5. Click Save to save the configuration settings. If the configuration file does not successfully save to
the specified volume, check the volume to ensure that it is not locked.
