Understanding How Configuration Changes Are
Handled
The OnBoard handles
changes
to configuration files and
backups
of
configuration file changes differently from how other Cyclades
AlterPath products handle them. The following bulleted items give an
overview of how the OnBoard handles configuration changes:
•
When an OnBoard administrator performs configuration tasks, changes
are stored in RAM memory until the administrator takes a specific action
to save the changes in configuration files.
•
Unless changes are saved in configuration files, they do not persist after a
reboot.
•
The OnBoard administrator can back up changed configuration files at
any time.
•
Like other AlterPath products, the OnBoard maintains a backed up copy
of the factory-default configuration files.
•
The OnBoard administrator can restore the factory default files or restore
any backed-up copies of the configuration files that an administrator may
make during system operation.
•
The current state of the configuration files is maintained after a software
upgrade. (This allows you to upgrade software on the OnBoard without
losing all user and device configurations.) After a software upgrade, the
administrator can optionally do the following:
•
Return to the last backed-up copy of the configuration files.
•
Return to the factory default configuration files.
