Sending a Configuration File to the Device

To send a configuration file to the device

1.	Select File > Configuration > Send To Device. The Upload Configuration File to Device pane is displayed.

2.	From the Upload Mode drop-down list, select one of the following:

—	Replace configuration file — Replaces the configuration file with a new configuration file. This action requires rebooting the device. With this option, you can upload the file to the device in CLI format or BER format.

—

Append commands to configuration file — Adds parts of a configuration into the device. For example, you can add a specific farm and its servers into a device configuration. This option also enables simple multi-device management, for example, pushing the same BWM policy to multiple devices at once. This option can only append commands that do not require rebooting the device for the commands to take effect. With this option, if a command that requires reboot is pasted/uploaded to the device, the command is not implemented.

—

Append commands to configuration file with reboot — Adds parts of a configuration into the device and reboots the device. Use this option if the commands in the file require rebooting the device to take effect. This includes commands like enabling BWM or modifying a tuning value. With this option, implementation takes place as follows:

a.   All commands that require rebooting the device are implemented.

b.   The device reboots.

c.   All commands that do not require rebooting the device are implemented.

3.	In the Configuration File text box, type the path of the required file or click Browse to navigate to the required file.

4.	Click Set. The file is uploaded to the device.

5.	If you selected Replace configuration file or Append commands to configuration file, from the Device menu, select Reset Device and then Set in the Reset the Device pane.
