Chapter 8 Common Administrative Tasks
Managing the Configuration File
•
You can save the configuration file to a different system to back up and
preserve crucial configuration data. If you make a mistake while configuring
your appliance, you can “roll back” to the most recently saved configuration
file.

You can download the existing configuration file to view the entire
configuration for an appliance quickly. (Many newer browsers include the
ability to render XML files directly.) This may help you troubleshoot minor
errors (like typographic errors) that may exist in the current configuration.

Managing Multiple Appliances with XML Configuration Files
•
You can download an existing configuration file from one Cisco IronPort
appliance, make changes to it, and upload it to a different appliance. This lets
you manage an installation of multiple IronPort appliances more easily.
Currently you may not load configuration files from C/X-Series appliances

You can divide an existing configuration file downloaded from one Cisco
IronPort into multiple subsections. You can modify those sections that are
common among all appliances (in a multiple appliance environment) and load
them onto other appliances as the subsections are updated.

For example, you could use an appliance in a test environment for testing the
Global Unsubscribe command. When you feel that you have configured the
Global Unsubscribe list appropriately, you could then load the Global
Unsubscribe configuration section from the test appliance to all of your
production appliances.
