Requirements for storing and retrieving configuration parameters on a TFTP server

The following requirements apply when storing and retrieving configuration parameters on a TFTP server:

•The Configuration File feature can only be used to copy standalone switch configuration parameters to other standalone switches.

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

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

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