Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

Certificates used for secure communications with services used by the URL filtering feature are not 
saved with the configuration file. 

Use the Load Configuration section of the System Administration > Configuration File page to load new 
configuration information into the appliance. You can load information in 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.

In cluster mode, you can either choose to load the configuration for a cluster or an appliance. For 
instructions to load cluster configuration, see 

Regardless of the method, you must include the following tags at the top of your configuration:

The closing 

</config>

 tag should follow your configuration information. The values in XML syntax are 

parsed and validated against the DTD (document type definition) located in the 

configuration

 directory 

on your appliance. The DTD file is named

 config.dtd

. If validation errors are reported at the command 

line when you use the 

loadconfig

 command, the changes are not loaded. You can download the DTD to 

validate configuration files outside of the appliance before uploading them.

In either method, you can import an entire configuration file (the information defined between the 
highest level tags: 

<config></config>

), or a complete and unique sub-section of the configuration file, 

as long as it contains the declaration tags (above) and is contained within the 

<config></config>

 tags. 

“Complete” means that the entire start and end tags for a given subsection as defined by the DTD are 
included. For example, uploading or pasting this: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE config SYSTEM "config.dtd">

<config>

 ... your configuration information in valid XML

</config>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE config SYSTEM "config.dtd">

<config>
