2. Click on OK.
Select File➔Exit if you want to exit the Configuration Manager window. You
return to the Site Manager main window.
Refer to the section “Transferring a Configuration File to the Router” if you want
to transfer the configuration file to the router. You must do this if you want to boot
the router with this file.
Saving a Configuration File in Remote Mode
This section describes how to save a configuration created or modified in remote
mode to a file on the router.
To save a config file created or modified in remote mode, follow these steps:
1. If the file system on the router is an NVFS, compact the memory card to
optimize the available space. If the file system on the router is DOS,
disregard this step, and go to Step 2.
To compact the memory card, follow these steps:
a. Select Tools➔Router Files Manager in the Bay Networks Site
Manager window.
The Router Files Manager window appears (Figure 3-3).
Caution: When you save a configuration file in remote mode, the
Configuration Manager uses TFTP to transfer the file to the router’s file
system. The destination system in a file transfer overwrites any file already on
its volume that has the same filename.
If enough space does not exist on the file system for the new file, and the new
file has the same name as an old file, the old file will be destroyed and the new
file will be corrupted. This is because TFTP copies the new file over the old
and runs out of space before completing the copy. Be sure to follow the
instructions in this section to avoid corrupting the config file in the router if
the Configuration Manager is in remote mode.
Note: Before you use the Compact option, we recommend that you back up the
files by copying them to a second memory card. If possible, compact file space
at off-peak times due to the resource requirements to perform the compaction.
