14.6.1.3. Backup & Restore of the WBM Configuration Data Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

All configuration data configured via the WBM of the board must be backed up using the backup server. Otherwise all configuration data will be lost after a board replacement, a reset of the board or loadware upgrade and the native SIP-/SIP-Q trunking connection cannot be automatically reestablished. This is done with the OpenScape 4000 Assistant > Backup & Restore.
It is important to ensure that the backup server can be reached. If the backup server is not available, the configuration data can also be saved in the flash memory of the board and then can be retrieved from there.

BUSIP=<ip_address_backup_server>,BUSPN=<port_no_backup_server>};
Note: The values for MGNTPN and BUSPN will not be restored after a reset of the board. They have to be configured again manually.
Local Flash
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended to additionally use the local flash as a backup media. If the connection to the backup server is broken the configuration data will be automatically restored from the local flash.
WBM > Maintenance > Actions > (double-click) Automatic Actions > Saving Local Configuration for Upgrade
For more information please refer to "Gateways HG 3500 and HG 3575", Chapter 6, “Save Configuration Data in Local Flash ((local Backup & Restore)”.
IMPORTANT:
If the restore is necessary (e.g. after an upgrade of the loadware) and the backup server cannot be reached during the startup phase, the board is loaded and put into operation with the default configuration. If the HBR server is then reachable, the restore is carried out afterwards and a reboot with the new configuration is triggered! An additional reboot is also triggered during the startup phase if configurations/data required for operation are restored (e.g. SPE certificates).
IMPORTANT:
To avoid problems during upgrading/loadware swapping, a backup should be initialized after exchanging the board because the backup is associated with the MAC address.
