Downloading and Uploading the Configuration Package File

You can download and upload a bundle of files used by the device in a single, packaged file called the Configuration Package file. This file is in 7-Zip archive file format (.7z) and uses the LZMA2 compression algorithm. In addition, you can optionally password-protect the file and encrypt it using the AES-256 algorithm.

You can use the Configuration Package file to fully back up the device's configuration. If needed, you can later restore the device to this backup configuration for whatever reason (e.g., configuration failure). You can also upload the Configuration Package file to other devices that need similar configuration.

The Configuration Package file can include the following files:

File

Description

ini.ini

INI configuration file.

cli-startup-script.txt

CLI Startup Script file.

Note: This file is applicable only for uploading a Configuration Package file.

<TLS Context ID>.pkey

Private key of the TLS Context (by ID).

Note: You can only choose to include certificates in the Configuration Package file if you enable the password-protect (encrypt) option.

<TLS Context ID>.crt

TLS certificate of the TLS Context (by ID).

Note: You can only choose to include certificates in the Configuration Package file if you enable the password-protect (encrypt) option.

<TLS Context ID>.root

Trusted root certificate of the TLS Context (by ID).

Note: You can only choose to include certificates in the Configuration Package file if you enable the password-protect (encrypt) option.

● The device downloads the Configuration Package file with the name "ConfBackupPkg<Serial Number>.7z".
● When uploading the Configuration Package file, the device restarts for the settings to take effect.
● The Configuration Package file is included in the device's debug file and core dump file (see Viewing Debug (and Core Dump) File Contents
● The device's SNMP MIB allows OVOC to back up the Configuration Package file. OVOC only uploads the file if it was modified, compared to the current file in OVOC, using file checksum (acSysConfigurationPackageChecksum).
● For backward compatibility, a Configuration Package file in TAR format (.tar.gz)  can still be uploaded to the device.

You can download or upload the Configuration Package file, using the following methods:

■ CLI: 
# copy configuration-pkg from|to <URL> [encrypted <password>] [certificates]
● For uploading a Configuration File that is password-protected, use the encrypted option to specify the password: copy configuration-pkg from <URL> encrypted <password>
● For downloading the Configuration File, if you want to password-protect it (and optionally include the TLS certificates), use the encrypted and certificates options, respectively: copy configuration-pkg from <URL> encrypted <password> certificates
■ Auto-Update Mechanism: 
(config-system)# automatic-update
(auto-update)# configuration-pkg <URL>

If the file is password-protected, specify the password using the following CLI command: 

(config-system)# automatic-update

(auto-update)# default-configuration-package-password <password>
■ SFTP: You can also download (Get) the Configuration Package file through SFTP. The file is located in the device's /configuration directory. Your SFTP client needs to authenticate itself with the SFTP server (i.e., the device).

SFTP Notes:

● You can access the /configuration folder only if you have one of the following management user levels:
✔ Security Administrator
✔ Master
● The Configuration Package file can only be downloaded.
● When the file is password-protected, it includes the TLS certificates and the file is listed in the device's /configuration directory as configuration-package-full.7z. If it's not password-protected (and therefore, doesn't include certificates), the file is listed as configuration-package.7z.
● The password for protecting the file is specified as described for the Auto-Update mechanism (see above).
