Saving and Exporting the Current Configuration File
Using the Current Configuration section of the Management Appliance > System Administration > 
Configuration File page, you can save the current configuration file to your local machine, save it on the 
appliance (placed in the 
configuration
 directory in the FTP/SCP root), or email it to the address 
specified. 
Masking the password
Optionally, mask the user’s passwords by selecting the check box. Masking a password causes the 
original, encrypted password to be replaced with “*****” in the exported or saved file.
Note
Configuration files with masked passwords cannot be loaded back into AsyncOS.
Loading a Configuration File
Use the Load Configuration section of the Management Appliance > System Administration > 
Configuration File page to load new configuration information into the Cisco IronPort appliance. You 
can load information using one of three methods: 
  •
Placing information in the 
configuration
 directory and uploading it
  •
Uploading the configuration file directly from your local machine
  •
Pasting configuration information directly into the GUI
Configuration files with masked passwords cannot be loaded.

 ... your configuration information in valid XML
</config>
