This command loads the Sensor configuration from the configured SCP server. The SCP server IP is specified in the Sensor. When the Sensor is added to the Manager, the configuration type should be specified as offline.
Syntax:
loadconfiguration scp WORD
where WORD stands for the name of the configuration file on the SCP server.
Note the following:
- For NS-series Sensors, when loading Sensor configuration from the SCP server, the first attempt will be based on SSH public key authentication. If that fails, the Sensor will revert to password authentication.
- When loading Sensor configuration from the SCP server, you are prompted for the SCP server credentials (username and password). The command succeeds only on providing the correct SCP server credentials.
Note
If SSH public key authentication is successful, you will not be prompted for the SCP server credentials.
- When loading Sensor configuration from the SCP server, the pathname of the file should be absolute.
Applicable to:
NS-series Sensors
