Requirements for storing or retrieving 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 switch configuration
parameters to other switches.
• A configuration file obtained from a switch can only be used to configure
other switches that have the same firmware revision and model type as the
donor 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 will also apply to and
override the existing GBIC settings.
