Backup and Restore ConÞguration Files

To successfully save configuration files to the server, those files must already exist and be writeable by everyone.

This restriction is part of the TFTP protocol. Moreover, all the files accessed by the TFTP server must be under a

single root directory. Multiple sub-directories can exist below this root directory, but they must be created

manually at the server. Neither the sub-directories nor the files can be created remotely.

Note: Remember to start the TFTP server from the DSL Tools menu.

The copy command lets you upload configuration files to the TFTP server where the destination is in the form:

Backup Configuration Files (Recommended Procedure)

1. Create a directory under the TFTP root directory corresponding to the system name you want to back up.

2. Create files called SYSTEM.CNF, DHCP.DAT, and FILTER.DAT in this subdirectory. The files can be

empty or not, but should be writeable by everyone.

To back up a copy of the configuration files, enter

copy system.cnf [email protected]:myname/system.cnf

copy filter.dat [email protected]:myname/filter.dat

copy dhcp.dat [email protected]:myname/dhcp.dat

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the TFTP server and myname is the router name.

Note: SYSTEM.CNF, FILTER.DAT, and DHCP.DAT are three key files that should be backed up. To see

other files that you may also want to save, type the command dir.

Restore Configuration Files

To restore the configuration files, enter:

copy [email protected]:myname/system.cnf system.cnf

copy [email protected]:myname/filter.dat filter.dat

copy [email protected]:myname/dhcp.dat dhcp.dat

sync
