Place the Switch offline while transferring Setting Files to the Switch.

When transferring Settings Files from one Switch to another, the IP address of the originating Switch will also be transferred. The user must therefore reset the IP address on the receiving Switch before connecting to the network.

After configuration changes are made, all the changes are automatically saved. It is a good practice to save the configuration on another server on the network using the tftp or ftp protocols. Once the configuration is saved, the saved configuration can be reloaded to restore the settings. At this time, the saved or loaded configuration parameters are not in a human readable format.

The following figure illustrates the FTP window, which can be used to save the configuration, as well as up load new images or reload a saved configuration.

Ensure the machine specified by the IP address has the necessary services running on it. For serial connections, x-modem or other alternative methods can be used. Generally, the filename name must be a unique filename, as over-writing files is not permitted by most FTP and TFTP servers (or services).

The following figure illustrates saving the configuration on a TFTP server. Note that the menu is similar to the FTP screen described earlier.
