Backing Up and Restoring the Controller's Network Configuration from an FTP Server

In addition to backing up and restoring the controller's network configuration from its own database, the controller supports backup and restore of its network configuration from an FTP server using the CLI.

This section describes the requirements for backing up and restoring the controller's network configuration from an FTP server, the information that is included in the backup file, and how to perform the backup and restore process.

To back up and restore the controller's network configuration from an FTP server, the controller must have already been set up and in service. In case of a multi-node cluster, all the nodes in the cluster must be in service.

The following table lists the network configuration that is backed up from the control and data planes when you perform a backup procedure to an FTP server.
