Note The firmware upgrade does not change the configuration of your BIG10. All set-
tings are preserved. However, the settings should be saved before!

3.1.8 Import Configuration

The BIG 10 can be configured by use of a configuration file remotely from a central server or
locally via the Web-GUI. This speeds up the configuration process of several devices with
identical or similar configuration. Refer to next chapter for a central configuration. For a local
configuration is a prepared configuration file required, like described in the documentation
"Configuration-Documentation.pdf". This file is a simple text file and can be edited by every
standard test editor. Once the file is prepared, then it can be loaded into the device. The confi-
guration can be stored permanently with the "Save Settings" button.
3.2

WAN

The BIG 10 can be configured in different ways. The management access to the device can be
secured by means of VLANs. For this it is required to configure the network configuration
first. The configuration types can be:
• dynamic configuration („DHCP"), assigning an IP address from a central DHCP serv-
er
• static configuration assigning a static IP address
• assigning an IP address via PPPoE
A central located configuration file can be retrieved from a TFTP server in addition by select-
ing „Opt. 66/67". So this is a simple way to perform a central device configuration.
