10.2.1 Importing and Exporting Command Control Settings

The following commands allow you to export a current command control configuration and import one. Importing a configuration overwirtes any existing rule set; therefore before importing a configuration, you should back up the current configuration (see Section 10.2.2, Backing Up and Restoring a Command Control Configuration).

The export command has the following syntax:

Syntax: ./unifi -n cmdctrl export [options]

If you have not mapped your local account to a Framework Manager user, replace the -n option with -u <username> -p <password> options and specify the name and password of a Framework Manager user who has the rights to perform this task.

Replace [options] with one or more of the following:

Options

Description

-f <arg>

Specifies where to export the configuration to. Replace <arg> with a filename or a path and filename.

-c

Specifies that the configuration should be exported in clear text. This option cannot be used with the -p option.

-p <pwd>

Specifies an encryption password for the file. If a password is specified, the password must be entered when importing the file. This option cannot be used with the -c option.

The import command has the following syntax:

Linux Syntax: ./unifi -n cmdctrl import [options]

If you have not mapped your local account to a Framework Manager user, replace the -n option with -u <username> -p <password> options and specify the name and password of a Framework Manager user who has the rights to perform this task.

Replace [options] with one or more of the following:

Options

Description

-f <arg>
