Back up and restore filters and signatures.

[melangnghe]

Is there a way to back up and restore configuration including filters and signatures for specific sensor?

We also use Ciscoworks2.2.

Thanks,

Simone.

You can do this at the CLI by doing the following:

(Derived from info posted at the Cisco.com website - URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2113/products_installation_and_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008035809d.html#wp87165)

Step 1 - Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator privileges.

Step 2 - Save the current configuration:

sensor# copy current-config backup-config

The current configuration is saved in a backup file.

Step 3 - Display the backup configuration file:

sensor# more backup-config

The backup configuration file is displayed.

Step 4 - Copy the backup-config file to another system.

sensor# copy backup-config scp://@//

Step 5 - To restore, simply reverse Step 4

sensor# copy scp://@// backup-config

Step 6 - Merge the "new" backup-config with current-config

sensor# copy backup-config current-config

I hope this helps,

Instead of SCP, can one use FTP ?

[a.arndt]

Indeed. Just use the same URI structure and substitute ftp for scp.
