Restoring a configuration
Restoring a configuration involves overwriting the configuration on the switch by downloading a previously
saved backup configuration file. Perform this procedure during a planned down time.
Make sure that the configuration file you are downloading is compatible with your switch model, because
configuration files from other model switches might cause your switch to fail.
To download a configuration to the switch:
1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 43 .
2. Disable the switch, as described in ” Enabling and disabling a switch ” on page 46.
You can download configurations only to a disabled (offline) switch.
3. Click the Configure tab.
4. Click the Upload/Download subtab (see Figure 13 on page 61).
5. Select the Config Download to Switch radio button.
6. Enter the user name, password, and host IP information.
7. Enter the configuration file with a fully-qualified path.
8. Click Apply.
You can monitor the progress by looking at the Upload/Download Progress bar on the Configure tab.
9. Enable the switch, as described in ” Enabling and disabling a switch ” on page 46.
Maintaining licensed features
Feature licenses may be supplied with switch software, or you can purchase licenses separately from your
switch vendor, who will provide you with keys to unlock the features. License keys are provided on a
per-chassis basis, so for products that support multiple logical switches (domains), a license key applies to
all domains within the chassis.
The licensed features currently installed on the switch are listed in the License tab of the Switch Admin
module, as shown in Figure 14 . If the feature is listed, it is installed and immediately available. When
you enable some licenses, such as ISL Trunking, you may need to change the state of the port to enable
the feature on the link.
