Working with Configuration Files Chapter 17 Managing Firmware and Configurations Creating a Configuration File by Using a Text Editor When creating a configuration file, you must list commands logically so that the system can respond appropriately. This is one method of creating a configuration file: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Copy an existing configuration from an bridge to a server. For more information, see the "Downloading the Configuration File by Using TFTP" section on page 17-11, the "Downloading a Configuration File by Using FTP" section on page 17-13, or the "Downloading a Configuration File by Using RCP" section on page 17-16. Open the configuration file in a text editor such as vi or emacs on UNIX or Notepad on a PC. Extract the portion of the configuration file with the desired commands, and save it in a new file. Copy the configuration file to the appropriate server location. For example, copy the file to the TFTP directory on the workstation (usually /tftpboot on a UNIX workstation). Make sure the permissions on the file are set to world-read. Copying Configuration Files by Using TFTP You can configure the bridge by using configuration files you create, download from another bridge, or download from a TFTP server. You can copy (upload) configuration files to a TFTP server for storage. This section includes this information: • Preparing to Download or Upload a Configuration File by Using TFTP, page 17-10 • Downloading the Configuration File by Using TFTP, page 17-11 • Uploading the Configuration File by Using TFTP, page 17-11 Preparing to Download or Upload a Configuration File by Using TFTP Before you begin downloading or uploading a configuration file by using TFTP, perform these tasks: • Ensure that the workstation acting as the TFTP server is properly configured. On a Sun workstation, make sure that the /etc/inetd.conf file contains this line: tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd in.tftpd -p -s /tftpboot Make sure that the /etc/services file contains this line: tftp 69/udp Note You must restart the inetd daemon after modifying the /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services files. To restart the daemon, either stop the inetd process and restart it, or enter a fastboot command (on the SunOS 4.x) or a reboot command (on Solaris 2.x or SunOS 5.x). For more information on the TFTP daemon, refer to the documentation for your workstation. • Ensure that the bridge has a route to the TFTP server. The bridge and the TFTP server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Check connectivity to the TFTP server by using the ping command. 17-10 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridges Software Configuration Guide OL-4059-01
