Uploading and Downloading Configuration Files
Prior to upgrading your controller’s software, Cisco recommends that you upload your controller’s
configuration file to a server to back it up. Then after the new controller software is installed, you can
download the configuration file to the controller.
Note If you do not back up your controller’s configuration file prior to upgrading the controller software, you
must manually reconfigure the controller.
In controller software release 4.2, the controller’s bootup configuration file is stored in an Extensible
Markup Language (XML) format rather than in binary format. Therefore, you cannot download a binary
configuration file onto a controller running software release 4.2.61.0. However, when you upgrade a
controller from a previous software release to 4.2.61.0, the configuration file is migrated and converted
to XML.
Note Do not attempt to make changes to the configuration file. If you do so and then download the file to a
controller, the controller displays a cyclic redundancy checksum (CRC) error while it is rebooting and
returns the configuration parameters to their default values.
Uploading Configuration Files
You can upload configuration files using either the GUI or the CLI.
Using the GUI to Upload Configuration Files
Using the controller GUI, follow these steps to upload a configuration file.
Step 1 Click Commands > Upload File to open the Upload File from Controller page (see Figure 8-5).
