4.6.3

Configuration Backup

Changes made to the switch since it was manufactured can be saved to a file in non-volatile memory. However the backup is lost if the switch is reset. Use the FTP User Images procedures to save the configdata file to the workstation. (In FTP, no directory listing is available. The configuration backup file is always named configdata.) Refer to the ”Config Command” on page A-7for more information. Refer to ”Archiving a Switch” on page 4-15.

4.6.4

Configuration Restore

Switch configurations can be “cloned” to easily propagate an identical configuration to other switches. Use the FTP User Images procedures with the Put command to send the previously saved (using config backup) configdata file to the switch. Use the Config Restore command to return the switch configuration to the previously saved configuration. The switch is automatically reset upon a successful restore. Refer to the ”Config Command” on page A-7for more information. Refer to ”Restoring a Switch” on page 4-16.
