CONFIGURATION FILE OPTIONS
Configuration files can be transferred in different ways,
depending on your requirements.
ASCII CONFIGURATION FILE (config). This file can
be used to configure multiple units with similar network configurations. In other words, the same configuration file is
downloaded to different remote units, but certain parameters,
such as names and IP addresses must be customized for each
unit. This can be achieved by uploading the ASCII configuration file from one unit, manually modifying the file, and
downloading it to a different unit. For the download to be
accomplished, the unit must be running and accessible via IP.
An ASCII config file can be downloaded to different units
running different software versions. This feature is supported
for Versions 5.01 and above. For more information, see the
sections that follow.
COMPRESSED ASCII CONFIGURATION FILE
(CNFGLOAD.CMP). This is the compressed version of
the file described in the previous paragraph. Since it cannot
be modified manually, the file cannot be used to configure
different units, but it can span different software versions.
This is especially useful when DYNASTAR software is being
upgraded. This feature is supported forVersions 6.03 and
above. For more information, see the earlier section in this
chapter, Compressed Configuration File.
