Cisco IronPort AsyncOS 7.6 for Email Advanced Configuration Guide
Chapter 8 Centralized Management
Configuration information may be saved for any individual system in the cluster. If you are in machine
mode and you export a configuration file (using the System Administration > Configuration File page or
the exportconfig command), the file will be exported onto the local disk of the machine you are
currently configuring. If you are in cluster mode or group mode, then the file will be saved on the
machine you are currently logged into. You will be notified which machine the file was exported to.
Note Saving the configuration of an entire cluster (or a clustered machine) prior to restoring that configuration
onto a set of machines (either the same machines or a different set) via the System Administration >
Configuration File page or the loadconfig command is not supported.
Resetting the Configuration
CLI Command Support
If the configuration is reset (via the System Administration > Configuration File page or the
resetconfig command) on a machine (restricted to local machine mode) that is part of a cluster, then
that machine will return to the default factory settings. If that machine was previously part of a cluster,
resetting the configuration will also automatically remove it from the cluster.
All Commands Are Cluster-aware
All CLI commands in AsyncOS are now cluster-aware. The behavior of some commands will change
slightly when issued in a cluster mode. For example, the behavior of the following commands changes
when issued on a machine that is part of a cluster:
The commit and clearchanges Commands
commit
commitdetail
clearchanges
The commit command commits all changes for all three levels of the cluster, regardless of which mode
you are currently in.
The commitdetail command provides details about configuration changes as they are propagated to all
machines within a cluster.
The clearchanges (clear) command clears all changes for all three levels of the cluster, regardless of
which mode you are currently in.
