Overview
Ribbon seeds initial configuration in order to simplify SBC setup. After setup, the SBC provides schema-based configuration management through CLI, SNMP, NETCONF and RESTCONF API. When requested, this configuration management shows the seeded configuration plus subsequent configuration changes or additions made by the user (user configuration).
In addition, the export/import framework provides an automated way of exporting and importing configuration, but it expects a compressed tar ball as input with metadata to validate the incoming configuration. To simplify editing by users, the SBC provides a way to easily manage the configuration as plain XML files without any metadata.
- When you import the configuration from another installation (same or different version), the encrypted fields may not work. You must update the XML file with the plain text password to make it work.
- When you import the configuration from a different SBC version, configurations must be manually updated to accommodate the schema changes between the versions.
- These commands are only available to the Administrator group.
- You must manually re-create TLS certificates after an export/import because they require PKI Certificates to be installed on the new server deployment.
