Saving Configurations

Once you have completed all your switch configuration changes, it is a good idea to save the configuration in a secure location. The configuration is contained in a file that can be transferred to a PC or server. See “Transferring Switch Configurations” in appendix C, “File Transfers” for the procedures to save your switch configuration.
