Restore the device configuration

You can restore a configuration file to your EX12 device by using a backup from the device, or a backup from a similar device.

 

  Web

    Log into the EX12 WebUI as a user with full Admin access rights.

  1. On the main menu, click System. Under Configuration, click Configuration Maintenance.

    The Configuration Maintenance windows is displayed.

  2. In the Configuration Restore section:
    1. If a passphrase was used to create the configuration backup, for Passphrase (save/restore), enter the passphrase.
    2. Under Configuration Restore, click Choose File.
    3. Browse to the system firmware file location on your local computer and select the file.
    4. Click RESTORE.
  3. Click CONFIRM.

    The configuration will be restored and the device will be rebooted.

 

  1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the EX12 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.

  2. > scp host hostname-or-ip user username remote remote-path local local-path to local

    where:

    • hostname-or-ip is the hostname or IP address of the remote host.
    • username is the name of the user on the remote host.
    • remote-path is the path and filename of the file on the remote host that will be copied to the EX12 device.
    • local-path is the location on the EX12 device where the copied file will be placed.

    For example: 

    > scp host 192.168.4.1 user admin remote /home/admin/bin/backup-archive-0040FF800120-24.9-19.23.42.bin local /opt to local
  3. Enter the following:
    > system restore filepath [passphrase passphrase]

    where

    • filepath is the the path and filename of the configuration backup file on the EX12's filesystem (local-path in the previous step).
    • passphrase (optional) is the passphrase to restore the configuration backup, if a passphrase was used when the backup was created.

    For example:

    > system restore /opt/backup-archive-0040FF800120-24.9-19.23.42.bin
