9.2.10.1. Systems configured for Remote Administration
Before using Remote Administration or configuring NTP, enable config push on the
nShield nShield 5c for the RFS or client computer you intend to use for configuration.
The RFS config push is preferred unless the config push client is not actually the same
machine as the RFS. The RFS config push is recommended at least when securely
bootstrapping the configuration of the system from the nShield nShield 5c front panel.
9.2.11. Enabling config push from the RFS
On the nShield nShield 5c display, use the right-hand navigation button to select System
> System configuration > Remote File System, and follow the steps described in
Configuring the Remote File System
push mode to AUTO with RFS secure authentication enabled (recommended), or to ON.
The RFS config push supports specifying secure authentication from
the nShield nShield 5c front panel, whereas the client config push only

supports specifying authentication either from the nShield nShield 5c
Serial Console
9.2.12. Enabling config push from a client computer
To enable config push from a client computer, on the nShield nShield 5c display, use the
right-hand navigation button to select System > System configuration > Config file
options > Client config push > Config push mode, set ON or OFF, then select CONFIRM.
A confirmation message will be displayed.
After enabling config push, specify the IP address of the client to push the configuration
from. On the nShield nShield 5c display, use the right-hand navigation button to select
System > System configuration > Config file options > Client config push > Client
address. Enter the IP address and select CONFIRM. A message is displayed confirming
your chosen IP address. Select CONTINUE.
Any remote computer is allowed to push configuration files if no IP

address or the 0.0.0.0 address is specified.
After enabling config push, complete the configuration steps by editing the configuration
files, rather than by using nShield nShield 5c front panel. See the nShield nShield 5c User
Guide for more about configuration files.

(RFS). To enable config push from the RFS, set the
push
command, or from the config file itself.
