Copying Configuration Files from a Remote Server

This section describes how to configure the ACE by downloading a copy of a running-configuration file
or startup-configuration file from a remote server. When you copy the backup configuration file to the
ACE, you copy the configuration information to the context from where you initially executed the copy
command.

You know the location of the configuration file to be loaded from the remote server.
The configuration file permissions are set to world-read.
The ACE has a route to the remote server. The ACE and the remote server must be in the same
subnetwork if you do not have a router or default gateway to route the traffic between subnets. To
check connectivity to the remote server, use the ping or traceroute command in Exec mode. See the
Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Routing and Bridging Configuration
Guide for details on how to use the ping and traceroute commands.
Ensure that the configuration file is appropriate for use in the current context. For example, you
would copy the backup configuration file startup-config-ctx1 to context 1.
