A target device is the PXE device that loads another PXE device's configuration file.
Copying a source PXE device's configuration to a target device adjusts the target PXE device's settings to match those of the source PXE device. In order to successfully copy a source PXE device's configuration:
Bulk configuration is permitted if the differences between the target and source device are only mechanical designs which are indicated in a model name's suffix as listed below. In the following list, n represents a number.
- PDU chassis color, which is indicated as Kn, such as K1 and K601
- Line cord color, which is indicated as Bn, such as B2 and B5
- Line cord length (meters), which is indicated as An, such as A0 and A14
- Line cord length (centimeters), which is indicated as Ln
For example, Raritan's PX2-4724-E2N1K2 and PX2-4724-E2N1K9 share the same specifications, and the only difference is their chassis colors represented by K2 (blue) and K9 (gray).
A message appears, prompting you to confirm the operation and enter the admin password.
Note: On startup, the PXE performs all of its functions, including event rules and logs, based on the new configuration file you have selected instead of the previous configuration prior to the device reset. For example, "Bulk configuration copied" is logged only when the new configuration file contains the "Bulk configuration copied" event rule.
