When the file is uploaded from the CacheFlow device to required server, simply open this file in a text editor (File will have ".config" extension and include the Serial Number of the device to identify it).

 

Open a SSH or Serial Console connection to the device you wish to install the configuration to. Log into the device and enter the configuration terminal mode

Paste the output into the CLI at the configuration terminal prompt
