Step 17
Display the current configuration for the web server submode.
sensor# configure terminal
sensor(config)# service web-server
sensor(config-web)# show settings
enable-tls: true <defaulted>
server-id: HTTP/1.1 compliant <defaulted>
Filtering the Current Configuration Output
Use the more keyword | [begin | exclude | include] regular-expression command to search the output of the more command.
The following options apply:
•
keyword—Either the current-config or the backup-config.
–
current-config—The current running configuration. This configuration becomes persistent as the commands are entered.
–
backup-config—The storage location for the configuration backup file.
•
|—The pipe symbol indicates that an output processing specification follows.
•
begin—Begins unfiltered output of the more command with the first line that contains the regular expression specified.
•
exclude—Excludes lines in the output of the more command that contain a particular regular expression.
•
include—Includes only the lines in the output of the more command that contain the regular expression you specify.
•
regular-expression—Any regular expression found in the more command output.
Note
The regular-expression option is case sensitive and allows for complex matching requirements.
To filter the more command, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2
Filter the current-config output beginning with the regular expression "ip," for example.
sensor# more current-config | begin ip
generating current config:
host-ip 10.89.149.185/25,10.89.149.254
standard-time-zone-name UTC
! ------------------------------
! ------------------------------
! ------------------------------
log-all-block-events-and-errors true
Note
Press Ctrl-C to stop the output and return to the CLI prompt.
Step 3
Exclude the regular expression "ip" from the current-config output.
sensor# more current-config | exclude ip
generating current config:
! ------------------------------
! Current configuration last modified Fri Feb 11 15:10:57 2009
! ------------------------------
physical-interface FastEthernet0/1
! ------------------------------
! ------------------------------
service event-action-rules rules0
! ------------------------------
Note
Press Ctrl-C to stop the output and return to the CLI prompt.
Step 4
Include the regular expression "ip" in the current-config output.
sensor# more current-config | include ip
generating current config:
host-ip 10.89.149.185/25,10.89.149.254
Filtering the Current Submode Configuration Output
Use the show settings | [begin | exclude | include] regular_expression command in the submode you are interested in to search or filter the output of the contents of the submode configuration.
The following options apply:
•
|—The pipe symbol indicates that an output processing specification follows.
•
begin—Begins unfiltered output of the show settings command with the first line that contains the regular expression specified.
•
exclude—Excludes lines in the output of the show settings command that contain a particular regular expression.
•
include—Includes only the lines in the output of the show settings command that contain the regular expression you specify.
•
regular_expression—Any regular expression found in the show settings command output.
Note
The regular_expression option is case sensitive and allows for complex matching requirements.
To search or filter the output of the contents of the submode configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2
Search the output of the event action rules settings for the regular expression, "filters," for example.
sensor# configure terminal
sensor(config)# service event-action-rules
sensor(config-rul)# show settings | begin filters
filters (min: 0, max: 4096, current: 0 - 0 active, 0 inactive)
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
global-overrides-status: Enabled <defaulted>
global-filters-status: Enabled <defaulted>
global-summarization-status: Enabled <defaulted>
global-metaevent-status: Enabled <defaulted>
global-deny-timeout: 3600 <defaulted>
global-block-timeout: 15 default: 30
max-denied-attackers: 10000 <defaulted>
-----------------------------------------------
target-value (min: 0, max: 5, current: 0)
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
Step 3
Filter the output of the network access settings to exclude the regular expression.
sensor# configure terminal
sensor(config)# service network-access
sensor(config-net)# show settings | exclude false
-----------------------------------------------
log-all-block-events-and-errors: true default: true
block-enable: true default: true
block-max-entries: 11 default: 250
max-interfaces: 13 default: 250
master-blocking-sensors (min: 0, max: 100, current: 1)
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
never-block-hosts (min: 0, max: 250, current: 1)
-----------------------------------------------
ip-address: 10.89.146.112
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
never-block-networks (min: 0, max: 250, current: 1)
-----------------------------------------------
ip-address: 88.88.88.0/24
Step 4
Filter the output of the host settings to include the regular expression "ip."
sensor# configure terminal
sensor(config)# service host
sensor(config-hos)# show settings | include ip
host-ip: 10.89.149.185/25,10.89.149.254 default: 10.1.9.201/24,10.1.9.1
Displaying the Contents of a Logical File
Use the more keyword command to display the contents of a logical file, such as the current system configuration or the saved backup system configuration.
The following options apply:
•
keyword—Either the current-config or the backup-config.
–
current-config—The current running configuration. This configuration becomes persistent as the commands are entered.
–
backup-config—The storage location for the configuration backup file.
You can disable the more prompt in more current-config or more backup-config by setting the terminal length to zero using the terminal length 0 command. The more command then displays the entire file content without pausing.
To display the contents of a logical file, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Note
Operators and viewers can only display the current configuration. Only administrators can view hidden fields such as passwords.
Step 2
Display the contents of the current configuration file.
sensor# more current-config
Generating current config:
The current configuration is displayed.

Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration File Using a Remote Server
Note
We recommend copying the current configuration file to a remote server before upgrading.
Use the copy [/erase] source_url destination_url keyword command to copy the configuration file to a remote server. You can then restore the current configuration from the remote server. You are prompted to back up the current configuration first.
Options
The following options apply:
•
/erase—Erases the destination file before copying.
This keyword only applies to the current-config; the backup-config is always overwritten. If this keyword is specified for destination current-config, the source configuration is applied to the system default configuration. If it is not specified for the destination current-config, the source configuration is merged with the current-config.
•
source_url—The location of the source file to be copied. It can be a URL or keyword.
•
destination_url—The location of the destination file to be copied. It can be a URL or a keyword.
•
current-config—The current running configuration. The configuration becomes persistent as the commands are entered.
•
backup-config—The storage location for the configuration backup.
The exact format of the source and destination URLs varies according to the file. Here are the valid types:
•
ftp:—Source or destination URL for an FTP network server. The syntax for this prefix is:
ftp://[[username@]location][/relativeDirectory]/filename
ftp://[[username@]location][//absoluteDirectory]/filename
•
scp:—Source or destination URL for the SCP network server. The syntax for this prefix is:
scp://[[username@]location][/relativeDirectory]/filename
scp://[[username@]location][//absoluteDirectory]/filename
Note
If you use FTP or SCP protocol, you are prompted for a password. If you use SCP protocol, you must also add the remote host to the SSH known hosts list.
•
http:—Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is:
http://[[username@]location]/directory]/filename
•
https:—Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is:
https://[[username@]location]/directory]/filename
Note
HTTP and HTTPS prompt for a password if a username is required to access the website. If you use HTTPS protocol, the remote host must be a TLS trusted host.
Caution
Copying a configuration file from another sensor may result in errors if the sensing interfaces and virtual sensors are not configured the same.
Backing Up the Current Configuration to a Remote Server
To back up your current configuration to a remote server, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2 Back up the current configuration to the remote server.
sensor# copy current-config scp://user@192.0.2.0//configuration/cfg current-config
Warning: Copying over the current configuration may leave the box in an unstable state.
Would you like to copy current-config to backup-config before proceeding? [yes]:
Step 3 Enter
yes to copy the current configuration to a backup configuration.
cfg 100% |************************************************| 36124 00:00
Restoring the Current Configuration From a Backup File
To restore your current configuration from a backup file, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2 Back up the current configuration to the remote server.
sensor# copy scp://user@192.0.2.0//configuration/cfg current-config
Warning: Copying over the current configuration may leave the box in an unstable state.
Would you like to copy current-config to backup-config before proceeding? [yes]:
Step 3 Enter
yes to copy the current configuration to a backup configuration.
cfg 100% |************************************************| 36124 00:00
Warning: Replacing existing network-settings may leave the box in an unstable state.
Would you like to replace existing network settings
(host-ipaddress/netmask/gateway/access-list) on sensor before proceeding? [no]:
Step 4
Enter no to retain the currently configured hostname, IP address, subnet mask, management interface, and access list. We recommend you retain this information to preserve access to your sensor after the rest of the configuration has been restored.
For More Information

For the procedure for adding the remote host to the SSH known host list, see Adding Hosts to the SSH Known Hosts List.
•
For the procedure for adding the remote host to the TLS trusted hosts list, see Adding TLS Trusted Hosts.
Creating and Using a Backup Configuration File
To protect your configuration, you can back up the current configuration and then display it to confirm that is the configuration you want to save. If you need to restore this configuration, you can merge the backup configuration file with the current configuration or overwrite the current configuration file with the backup configuration file.
To back up your current configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
Step 2
Save the current configuration.
sensor# copy current-config backup-config
The current configuration is saved in a backup file.
Step 3
Display the backup configuration file.
sensor# more backup-config
The backup configuration file is displayed.
Step 4
You can either merge the backup configuration with the current configuration, or you can overwrite the current configuration:
•
Merge the backup configuration into the current configuration.
sensor# copy backup-config current-config
•
Overwrite the current configuration with the backup configuration.
sensor# copy /erase backup-config current-config
Erasing the Configuration File
Use the erase {backup-config | current-config} command to delete a logical file.
The following options apply:
•
current-config—The current running configuration. The configuration becomes persistent as the commands are entered.
•
backup-config—The storage location for the configuration backup.
To erase the current configuration and return all settings back to the default, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.
sensor# erase current-config
Warning: Removing the current-config file will result in all configuration being reset to
default, including system information such as IP address.
User accounts will not be erased. They must be removed manually using the "no username"
command.
Step 2
Press Enter to continue or enter no to stop.
