Saving the PXE Configuration

A source device is an already configured PXE device that is used to create a configuration file containing the settings that can be shared between PXE devices. These settings include user and role configurations, thresholds, event rules, security settings, and so on.

This file does NOT contain device-specific information, including:

Because the date and time settings are saved in the configuration file, users should exercise caution when distributing the configuration file to the PXE devices in a different time zone than the source device.

  1. Choose Maintenance > Bulk Configuration. The Bulk Configuration dialog appears.
  2. Click Download Bulk Configuration.
  3. When the web browser prompts you to open or save the configuration file, click Save. Choose a suitable location and save the configuration file to your PC.

The file is saved in the XML format, and its content is encrypted using the AES‑128 encryption algorithm.
