The commands are printed within each section—in the order of implementation.
At the end of the file, the device prints the signature of the configuration file. This signature is used
to verify the authenticity of the file and that it has not been corrupted. The signature is validated
each time the configuration file is uploaded to the device. If the validity check fails, the device
accepts the configuration, but a notification is sent to the user that the configuration file has been
tampered with and there is no guarantee that it works. The signature looks like
File Signature:

Downloading a Device’s Configuration File
You can download a device’s configuration file from the device to APSolute Vision for backup.
Whether you choose to download to the APSolute Vision server or client system, a copy is always
saved in the APSolute Vision database.
By default, you can save up to five (5) configuration files per device on the APSolute Vision server.
You can change this parameter in the APSolute Vision Setup page up to a maximum of 10. When the
limit is reached, you are prompted to delete the oldest file. For more information, see the APSolute
Vision Administrator Guide.
Note:
You can schedule configuration file backups in the APSolute Vision scheduler. For more
information, see
Configuring Tasks in the Scheduler, page 249
.
To download a device’s configuration file
1. In the Monitoring perspective system pane, right-click the device name and select Export
Configuration File from Device.
2. Configure the download parameters; and then, click Save.
Restoring a Device’s Configuration
You can restore a DefensePro device’s configuration file from a backup configuration file on the
APSolute Vision server or client system to the DefensePro device. When you upload the
configuration file to the device, it overwrites the existing device configuration.
After the restore operation is complete, you must reboot the device.
