Import Backup from One SILBO Gateway/router to another SILBO Gateway/Router

Things to remember before importing a backup file to any SILBO router/Gateway.

1. Make sure the Model number and Firmware version both are same for both the SILBO Router/Gateway.

2. Make sure the correct backup file is loaded to correct place specially in the gateway devices as they offer 2 separate import/export options. Op1. Router side configuration backup having GUI path as “Maintenance>>Import/Export” and Op2. Gateway side configuration which is fieldbus side configuration (RS485/Modbus/MQTT/HTTP/etc) having GUI path as “Appmanager>>Import/Export Application configurations”.

3. The configuration backup file is having correct configuration which is well tested.

4. If any configuration changes are needed, then they should be taken care for better understanding let us consider an example.

Example: IPSec VPN is already configured in a router.

if that backup is imported into another router, then the new device will also try connecting to same IPSec server with same credentials, and that can be a problem.

Q. how to overcome?

Ans1. Disable the IPSec VPN before taking backup and then use this file.

Ans2. Edit the backup file and search for the IPSec name. In below image IPSec name is “hh” and below the name “option Enable should be ‘0’” as show in below image.
