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. 
  •
You can download an existing configuration file, make changes to it, and 
upload it to the same appliance. This, in effect, “bypasses” both the CLI and 
the GUI for making configuration changes. 
  •
You can upload entire configuration file via FTP access, or you can paste 
portions of or an entire configuration file directly into the CLI. 
  •
Because the file is in XML format, an associated DTD (document type 
definition) that describes all of the XML entities in the configuration file is 
also provided. You can download the DTD to validate an XML configuration 
file before uploading it. (XML Validation tools are readily available on the 
Internet.) 
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 
onto an M-Series appliance.
  •
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.
