Retrieving and Exporting the .ini File
Summary of the procedure
As an Administrator, you can retrieve a dynamically generated .ini file of a Switched
Rack PDU’s current configuration and export that file to another Switched Rack PDU or
to multiple Switched Rack PDUs.
1. Configure a Switched Rack PDU to have the settings you want to export.
2. Retrieve the .ini file from that Rack PDU.
3. Customize the .ini file (to change at least the TCP/IP settings) and make a copy to
export.
4. Use any of the file transfer protocols supported by the Switched Rack PDU to
transfer the copied file to one or more additional Rack PDUs. (To transfer the file to
multiple Rack PDUs simultaneously, write an FTP or SCP script that repeats the
steps for transferring the file to a single Rack PDU.)
5. Each receiving Switched Rack PDU stores the file temporarily in its flash memory,
uses it to reconfigure its own Rack PDU settings, and then deletes the file.
