Importing and Exporting an XML Configuration File
An XML configuration file can be imported or exported using the following methods:
Filesystem
⎯
see
File System Browser Page
in the User Guide.
CLI
⎯
an XML configuration file can be imported or exported during a Telnet, SSH,
or serial line session. This can be done on any level, including the root, by pasting (or
“capturing”) the XML file into a CLI session. Special tags allow for providing root and
enable level passwords (see
Including Passwords in the XML File
on page
49
).
Web browser
⎯
using the Web Manager interface. See
XML Status Record: Export
System Status Page
in the User Guide.
FTP
⎯
to export a file, execute a get on the file eds4100.xml. To import a file,
execute a put on the file eds4100.xml. When you execute a get or put with this XML
file, the file is intercepted by the EDS and acted upon, without being placed on the
filesystem. See
FTP
Page
in the User Guide.
Note:
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is not supported for importing or
exporting XML configuration files because it does not provide any security
features.
