Configuration Backup/Restore

Caution Configuration Backup\Restore fails if the user name and passwords are not identical (refer to the "Entering or Changing Username and Passwords" section).

The Configuration Backup\Restore window allows you to download the current running configuration from a specified Cisco 12000 series internet router chassis and save it as a file to any Trivial File Transfer Program (TFTP) server. This file can later be downloaded from the specified TFTP server to a user specified Cisco 12000 series internet router chassis.

Note Backup\Restore is on a per chassis basis (that is, only the chassis will be backed up). Module backup is not available to C12kM.

Regular configuration backups allow recovery in the unlikely event of a hardware failure. For example, if a module were to fail, a replacement module could be inserted into the chassis and the configuration data would be restored. Changes in configuration data between the last backup and the time of the failure would be lost.

Note The backup\restore mechanism is not intended as a "configuration download and manipulation" facility permitting configuration of the Cisco hardware (for example, through Cisco IOS, followed by subsequent management by C12kM).

Note Check that there is enough memory space available within the tftp directory before attempting a backup operation. The backup file will be created with 0 bytes if there is not enough disk space available.
