Manage Configuration Data

Configuration data in the file include:
• Identification data (switch name, description, and location).
• Port configuration data (port names, blocked states, and port
validation, auto-LIP, and LIN alert configurations).
• Operating parameters (loop mode, error-detect time-out value
(E_D_TOV), resource allocation time-out value (R_A_TOV), and
preferred domain ID).
