Cisco <strong>IronPort</strong> <strong>AsyncOS</strong> 7.6 for Email Daily Management Guide<br />

Chapter 8 Common Administrative Tasks<br />

Warning When uploading or pasting subsections of a configuration file, you have the potential to disconnect<br />

yourself from the GUI or CLI and to destroy large amounts of configuration data. Do not disable<br />

services with this command if you are not able to reconnect to the appliance using another protocol,<br />

the Serial interface, or the default settings on the Management port. Also, do not use this command if<br />

you are unsure of the exact configuration syntax as defined by the DTD. Always back up your<br />

configuration data prior to loading a new configuration file.<br />

Note About Loading Passwords for Log Subscriptions<br />

Note About Character Set Encoding<br />

If you attempt to load a configuration file that contains a log subscription that requires a password (for<br />

example, one that will use FTP push), the loadconfig command does not warn you about the missing<br />

password. The FTP push will fail and alerts will be generated until you configure the correct password<br />

using the logconfig command.<br />

The “encoding” attribute of the XML configuration file must be “ISO-8859-1” regardless of the<br />

character set you may be using to manipulate the file offline. Note that the encoding attribute is specified<br />

in the file whenever you issue the showconfig, saveconfig, or mailconfig commands:<br />

<br />

Currently, only configuration files with this encoding can be loaded.<br />

Resetting the Current Configuration<br />

Resetting the current configuration causes your Cisco <strong>IronPort</strong> Appliance to revert back to the original<br />

factory defaults. You should save your configuration prior to resetting it. Resetting the configuration via<br />

this button in the GUI is not supported in a clustering environment.<br />
