MX2820 System Manual
PROVISIONING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION ARCHIVE (SCA)
The System Configuration Archive (SCA) system allows the shelf administrator to manually or
automatically save provisioning information for all installed cards to a remote TFTP server for
possible restoration at a later time. In addition to its obvious use for fast recovery of shelf provi-
sions in the case a failure, the SCA system can be used to "clone" baseline shelf configurations
to new installations so that only a few shelf-specific provisions need to be altered, significantly
reducing initial setup time.
The menus and SNMP system allows the administrator to perform automatic or manual save
and restores of SCA information to a TFTP server. Automatic save operations can be scheduled
to occur after a specific time of day so that installations with large numbers of MX2820 shelves
can reduce simultaneous SCA network traffic.
While SCA save operations back up information from all cards present in the shelf, the restore
operation allows the administrator to control the type of provisions to be restored to the SCU,
and whether or not to restore provisions to specific modules.
SCA menus and operations are available only to privileged administrator-level accounts.
The SCA menu consists of three sub-menus:
• SCA Autosave Provisioning
• SCA Restore Provisioning Options
• SCA Operations
SCA AutoSave Provisioning Screen
