G450 USB Backup and Restore 1

[glimma]

Hi All,

Has anybody ever used the USB Backup and Restore on a G450??

I'm ok with running the backup command etc, but I'm not sure about the MCK/Master Configuration Key.

If I do not run the key config-key password-encryption xxxxx command on the GW and backup the GW. Will I be able to restore the backup to another G450??

Or should I be running the key config-key password-encryption xxxx command and setting a MCK, prior to backing up the GW. Then prior to the restore, I run the key config-key password-encryption xxxx command on the new GW and then restore the config??

I'm just thinking that if the MCK has never been set on a GW, is there a need to set it before I run a backup and restore??

Does anybody know what the default MCK is??

Thanks

Glimma

I have not changed the key, but used the default Master Key.

backup config usb usbdevice0 gatewaybackup1 (Backup from mediagateway USB drive)
restore config usb usbdevice0 gatewaybackup1 (Restore USB to mediagateway)

Master key configuration

key config-key password-encryption
Use the key config-key password-encryption command to change the default Master
Key of the gateway, used to encrypt gateway secrets in the gateway configuration
file.

Note: For security reasons, it is recommended to define a new Master Key upon
gateway installation. Otherwise, the default Master Key, common to all gateways,
is used to encrypt gateway secrets.

Note: Record the phrase you entered in the key config-key
password-encryption command and keep it in a safe place. If you wish to
copy one gateway's configuration file to another gateway, you must first
configure in the other gateway an identical Master Key (by using the same
phrase), otherwise the copy operation will fail.

Note: When you define a Master Key, you are prompted to save it by copying the
running configuration to the start-up configuration using the copy
running-config

startup-config command. The Master Key will now be in effect.
Note: The nvram initialize command deletes the user-defined Master Key, and
returns it to its default value.

Syntax
key config-key password-encryption master-key-passphrase

master-key-phrase The phrase used to
generate the gateway's
Master Key, used for
encrypting gateway secrets

A string of 13-64
