On the Master:
- License database: #license export <filename>
- Local user database: #local-userdb export <filename>
- WMS database: #wms export-db <filename>
- WMS classification: #wms export-class <filename-prefix>
This command generates two files for the APs and for the wifi stations.
- Global AP database: #export gap-db <filename> // 3.x only (optional)
- RF Plan: The export is done through the WebUI only:
(ArubaOS 2.5): Plan > Export // wms-cgi.export file by Building
(ArubaOS 3.x): Plan > Export // wms.cgi file by Campus
- Customized Captive Portal: #backup flash
This command creates the file backupflash.tar.gz on the flash that can be retrieved to a TFTP server as follows:
#copy flash: backupflash.tar.gz tftp: <tftp_server_IP> backupflash.tar.gz
The customized CP files would be available under the upload directory.
- Configuration: The configuration file used by the boot process could be checked using the following command:
#show boot //default is: default.cfg
It could be copied to a TFTP server or retrieved from the config folder after backing up the flash.
