For Switch 4007 devices only, the management PC should be directly connected to the EME management module to ensure that communication is not lost during a Device Restore or Device Setup operation.

2Device Backup, Restore and Setup operations may fail if the target device has multiple IP addresses, but not all of these addresses have been detected by 3Com Network Director.

This can occur if the device is allocated additional IP addresses after the network map is discovered.

To prevent this from occurring, please ensure that the network map is up-to-date before attempting a Device Backup, Restore or Setup operation.

3For security purposes, the Device Backup operation does not backup the user information, community strings or RADIUS shared secret of the selected devices. Therefore, this information will not be changed by the Device Restore or Device Setup operations (see point 4 below for exceptions).

The following devices are exceptions to this rule, storing their configuration in a non-readable binary format, and so they do backup and restore both the user and community string information:

■Switch 4005

■Switch 4007

4The Device Restore and Setup operations will reset all user passwords and RADIUS shared secrets (where supported) to their factory defaults, on the following devices:

■Switch 610

■Switch 630

■Switch 1100

■Switch 3300

■Switch 4400

It is strongly recommended that the user passwords are manually re-configured, using the device's Command Line Interface (CLI),
