Managing Switch Configurations
The switch configuration determines the basic operational characteristics of the switch. A switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration, named Default Config. The current switch operating characteristics are determined by the active configuration. Only one configuration can be active at one time.
Each switch configuration contains switch, port, port threshold alarm, and zoning configuration components. Managing Switch Configurations describes the following tasks:
Display a List of Switch Configurations
Activate a Switch Configuration
Copy a Switch Configuration
Delete a Switch Configuration
Modify a Switch Configuration
Back Up and Restore a Switch Configuration
