Backing up the configuration store in flash memory

To make a back-up copy of the configuration file currently stored in your Matrix Switch’s flash memory:

1.On the Import/Export page (see figure 57 on page 75) click the Export Flash... hyperlink. The Matrix Switch will get the configuration file currently stored in your Matrix Switch’s flash memory and display it in your browser (see figure 58)
