The following procedures describe how to configure the DSC SWe Static Routes using an XML configuration file.

An XML provisioning screen is provided in the Web UI and contains an option to export the current DSC SWe configuration on the DSC Platform to an XML file. The XML configuration file is downloaded and modified using an XML or text editor. The new XML configuration file is uploaded on the platform to provision Static Routes. All XML configuration files on the DSC platform are listed in the XML provisioning screen.

Note

Static Route and IP Route can be used interchangeably in this library.

Following the upload of an XML configuration file to the DSC Platform, the user can use the contents of the uploaded file to provision the Static Routes by pressing the Set Config button. The contents of the uploaded XML file will be interpreted as SetConfig action:

  • if configuration is present in the uploaded XML file and the configuration on the system does not exist — the configuration will be added.
  • if configuration in the XML file differs from the existing system configuration —  the configuration is updated.

  • if a configuration is not present in the XML file but exists on the system - this system configuration is removed.

    Caution

    Consider this Caution note for the third scenario in the preceding bulleted list:

    The system configuration data will be deleted if the corresponding XML configuration data for this system configuration is not present in an uploaded XML file.

Caution

You must press the Set Config button in the Web UI to commence provisioning. Once the Set Config button is pressed, the summary of provisioning actions to be carried out is displayed and the operator is prompted to confirm these actions.

Note

It is recommended that you perform a complete system backup before configuring Static Routes using an XML configuration file. See DSC Back Up and Restore in the DSC - SP2000 Platform Manager User Guide.
