Saving a CMM configuration

Use this information to save a CMM configuration.

Attention
  • Please make sure local user account passwords are known before unmanaging from LXCA.
  • Unmanage from LXCA before backing up the configuration.
  • You should save the CMM configuration. Saving the configuration allows you to restore the saved settings if a CMM is replaced or if configuration information is corrupted or lost. You must save the CMM configuration before replacing a CMM or restoring a CMM to the manufacturing default configuration, if you intend to restore the configuration.
  • If you are managing you chassis using an external management device, record the management device password in use at the time of the backup: this password will be required to restore the backup.

You can save the CMM configuration in two ways:

  • In the CMM web interface, configurations are applied from the Manage Configuration page (select Configuration from the Mgt Module Management menu). See Saving a CMM configuration for more information. All fields and options are fully described in the CMM web interface online help.
  • In the CMM CLI, use the write command (see write command for information about command use).
    Note
    The CMM operates in secure mode by default. When the CMM is in secure mode, only the secure file transfer methods HTTPS and SFTP can be used for firmware updates and other tasks involving file transfers, such as transferring a backup configuration file to restore a CMM configuration. The unsecure file transfer protocols HTTP, FTP, and TFTP are disabled when the CMM is in secure mode.
