immediately following a Device Restore or Setup operation on these devices.

5In order to prevent loss of communication between Network Director and the target device, the Device Restore operation will not change the IP address, subnet mask or default gateway being used by the device prior to the operation being started.

6Switch 1100/3300 - The Device Restore operation may be unable to find the list of associated backups for the target device, if the target device is made up of two different Switch 1100/3300 units, and one of the units has been replaced since the device was last backed up. If this situation occurs, please contact 3Com Customer Support.

7Switch 4400 and Switch 4005 - The progress bar for the Device Restore and Device Setup operations on the Switch 4400 and Switch 4005 devices, represent how far through the file transfer process the operation is at any time. This progress bar will read 100% once the chosen backup file has been completely transferred to the target device.

However, both the Switch 4400 and Switch 4005 devices require some additional time following the transfer of the file for the configuration to be applied. The time required by these devices may range from one minute to one hour, depending upon the size and complexity of the target device and the configuration being applied. A typical device and configuration is expected to require less than five minutes.

The Device Restore and Setup operations will wait for the devices to apply the configuration changes, but this will not be reflected by the progress bar. Subsequently, the system may look to have been suspended for some time, when it is simply waiting for the target device to complete its configuration changes. Therefore, please allow these operations time to complete, and do not cancel them unless required.

8If the Device Backup and Restore operations detect that the target device has changed since it was last discovered, they will suggest that the map is rediscovered to ensure that it is up-to-date. However, if these operations continue to display this message for the same device(s), after rediscovering the network map, then you should rediscover the network map again, but from a new (empty) map.

9Switch 4400 - The Device Restore and Setup operations do not take the position of any cascade modules into consideration when determining whether or not a backup can be applied to a target device. However, Switch 4400 devices will reject an attempt to restore their configuration, if they contain a cascade module that is in a different slot from when the
