304 Advanced configuration Backing up and restoring Saving initial configuration to compact flash If the compact flash card is available, Symantec Network Security automatically saves the configuration file to the CF card. Saving a node's configuration information to compact flash provides a way to control the configuration of one or more appliances you are adding to a cluster. During initial configuration, lab personnel can use the compact flash to configure the new node exactly as planned. This type of saved configuration only records the information required for the initial configuration of an appliance. To save an initial configuration to compact flash 1 If a compact flash card is not already mounted on /mnt/cf, do the following: ■ Insert the compact flash card into the CF adaptor. ■ Reboot the appliance. 2 Do one of the following: ■ On Devices, right-click the 7100 Series node object whose configuration you wish to save, then click Configuration > 7100 Series Configuration > Save Configuration File. ■ On Devices, click Configuration > Node > 7100 Series Configuration > Save Configuration File and choose a node from the pull-down list in Select Node. Click OK. 3 In Appliance Network Configuration, type the node netmask for Netmask. 4 Type a value for Default Router. This should be the IP address of the default router for this node. Note: Values for the netmask and default router will be automatically updated after the slave appliance is connected to the network and initially configured. These values will appear on the Advanced Network Options tab when you edit the node. 5 Optionally type values for DNS Server 1 and DNS Server 2. 6 Click OK. 7 In the Save Config File window, enter the filename and click Save. Network Security adds a timestamp to the filename to ensure uniqueness. Note: The enc suffix is applied to any file name you enter. It means the file is encrypted. This is an automatic process and does not require you to enter a key or password.
