Nortel Networks 10BASE-T manual Parameters Not Saved to the Configuration File

Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch

•A configuration file obtained from a standalone switch can be used only to configure other standalone switches that have the same software revision and model type as the donor standalone switch.

You can check your switch’s current software revision using the System Characteristics screen (see “System Characteristics” on page 3-15).

•A configuration file obtained from a stack unit can be used only to configure other “mirror-imaged” stacks. For example, the “new” stack must have the same number of switches and model types (in the same unit number locations) and the same software version as the stack in which the donor stack unit resides.

You can check your switch’s current software revision using the System Characteristics screen (see “System Characteristics” on page 3-15).

Reconfigured stacks are configured according to the unit order number of the donor unit. For example, the configuration file parameters from a donor unit with physical ID x are used to reconfigure the unit with physical ID x.

•The configuration file also duplicates any settings that exist for any MDA that is installed in the donor switch.

If you use the configuration file to configure another switch that has the same MDA model installed, the configuration file settings will also apply to and override the existing MDA settings.
