Since tech support at Livingston is a LITTLE backed up, I thought of posing my question to you folks.
I have a non-RADIUS based Portmaster(PM-2e, ComOS 3.1.2) which I need to establish and test a backup/recovery plan.
My understanding is that the pmreadconf utility will save all the PM configuration parameters(i.e. ports(serial, parallel, ethernet) and tables(user, location, filters, etc)) which can be used in a recovery process. To date, I have used the utility but have never tested its data file as a recovery method.
Therefore, let me go back to the basic questions.
1) How do I backup the Portmaster so if it burns-up I can plop a new one in its place and do a complete recovery?
2) How do I test this theory(i.e. zero out the config data)?
(as soon as I send this I know Livingston tech support is going to call)
