Perform the following steps to save the existing SBC configuration. The backup file created by this procedure is used to restore the system configuration if reinstallation of the software is needed for any reason.

To reload the SBC configuration, refer to Restoring the SBC Configuration for guidance.

Note

Restoring the SBC configuration on a SBC SWe Cloud platform is not supported. Instead, load the saved configuration to a new SBC SWe Cloud instance.

 

  1. Log on to SBC CLI. Execute the following command to save the SBC configuration.

    Example:
    admin@SBC01a> request system admin SBC01 saveConfig 
This command will save the current configuration. Do you want to continue (yes/no) yes
Proceeding
result success
reason Configuration Saved as /var/log/sonus/sbx/config/config_SBC01_20110824_021127.tar.gz
    Note

    This command saves the current configuration to a time-stamped zipped tar file located in /var/log/sonus/sbx/config directory of SBC active server. 

  2. Use SFTP (default login/password is sftpadmin/sftpadmin) to copy the configuration file from the active server to the remote server. Following is an example to transfer the saved configuration file to a remote linux server.

    Example:
    # sftp -oPort=2024 sftpadmin@SBC01a:/var/log/sonus/sbx/config/config_SBC01_20110824_021127.tar.gz /home/bob/SBC01/config
sftpadmin@SBC01a's password: <sftpadmin>
Connected to SBC01a.
