2. To view the contents of a config file in detail, select a config file by selecting a row from the

table and click the View button. For more information, see

“Viewing the detailed contents of a

config file”

on page 56.

3. Select a configuration (other than the start-up-config or running config) and click the Install

button to install the file on the switch and replace the existing startup-config file.

If a file (for example, sample-config) is selected, a message displays stating, “When
sample-config is installed, it will replace start-up config. Are you sure you want to install
sample-config.” Click Yes to continue.

NOTE

Selecting either the startup-config or running-config does not enable the Edit button. A different
configuration must be available to enable the Edit function for the purposes of replacing the existing
startup-config.

4. To permanently remove a file from the list of configurations available to the switch, select a

configuration file from the table and click the Delete button.

If startup-config is deleted, a prompt displays stating the default switch startup-config will
automatically take its place. The switch running-config cannot be deleted.

5. To restore the system’s default configuration and revert back to factory default, click the

Restore Defaults button.

NOTE

After setting the switch to revert to factory default settings, the system must be rebooted before the
default settings take effect. When this occurs, the switch IP address may change.

6. Click the Transfer Files button to move a target configuration file to a secure location for later

use. For more information, see

“Transferring a config file”

on page 57.
