To enable Configuration management you need to configure a basic configuration that you have to set on this card. You have to define the various paths to the storage mediums and set a standard storage medium where Gibraltar saves the config if it reboots or shuts down.

 

Default save target: The default save target chosen from this options is used automatically for saving the configuration, if Gibraltar shuts down or restarts or if you click to the link "Quick-Save" at the title bar. Thereby the option Source has to be singled out. This option makes it possible to save the configuration on the same storage media as it has been loaded from. So for example if you saved your configuration on an USB stick, and the configuration was loaded from the USB stick when Gibraltar started, automatically the new configuration will also be stored on the USB stick, when Gibraltar shuts down.

Save to floppy disk: Choose the floppy disk drive, on which the configuration should be saved. This entry is necessary, if you want to save the configuration on a floppy disk.

Save via email: Enter the email address you want to send the configuration to.

Automatically format floppy or harddisk: Mark this checkbox if you want to automatically format floppy disks or hard disk partitions before saving the config.

Save on shutdown: Mark this checkbox, to save the configuration automatically at the default saving destination, when Gibraltar shuts down.

 

TIP: If you want to load your config from a storage medium simply put the medium in your computer and boot the firewall. Gibraltar will search for the config while booting and load it again from the device.
