Backup and Restore Configuration
Click Maintenance > Backup & Restore Configuration to save the product
configuration stored on the switch to the HAFM appliance hard disk or to restore
the product configuration from the HAFM appliance. Only a single copy of the
configuration is kept on the HAFM appliance.
Backup is primarily for single-CTP systems, such as the Edge Switch 2/24, where
a backup is needed to restore to a replacement CTP card. You can also use this
feature for a special purpose configuration or for temporary testing of a
configuration. You cannot modify the location and file name of the saved
configuration.
Note: You can only restore the configuration to a switch with the same IP address.
Note: For the optional SANtegrity Binding feature, Backup and Restore Configuration
will backup and restore Switch Binding information, but will not back up and restore
Fabric Binding and Enterprise Fabric Mode information.
Backup Procedure
Use the following procedure to back up your product configuration:
1. Click Maintenance > Backup & Restore Configuration to display the

interop mode) and for switch (preferred domain ID, rerouting delay, and
