Backing up and restoring configuration files

A configuration file is a data file that contains a complete set of configuration settings for the
Avaya G250/G350 Media Gateway. You can use configuration files to back up and restore the
configuration of the G250/G350. You can back up either the running configuration or the startup
configuration to the server as a configuration file. When you restore a configuration file from a
server, it becomes the startup configuration on the G250/G350. For more information about
running configuration and startup configuration, see
Note:
The startup configuration file stores gateway secrets (passwords, etc) in an
Note:
encrypted format. Thus, secrets do not have to be re-entered if you are copying a
configuration file from one G250/G350 to another. For more information, see
Managing gateway secrets
You can:
Use the FTP/TFTP/SCP copy commands to transfer a configuration file between the
●
G250/G350 and a server on the network.
Use a USB mass storage device connected to the G250/G350 USB port to upload/
●
download the startup configuration file of the G250/G350. You can use either the USB
copy commands, or use the USB backup and restore commands for a full backup and
restore of the gateway (refer to
mass storage device
