Save and Restore Switch
Configuration Use this tab to save the switch configuration to a file for archiving, or restore a
switch configuration stored locally on the computer, or within the software
project.
You must be online to save and restore configuration files. Most of the settings
appear dimmed when the switch is offline.
Be prepared to enter a valid switch password to save and restore a switch
configuration.
The switch configuration consists of these two files:
• Text file containing configuration parameters
• Binary file containing VLAN information
Once the switch configuration is uploaded to the software project file, the switch
configuration can be exported as computer files by using the export button.
You can import a switch configuration from the appropriate files on your
computer to the project by using the Import button on the switch AOP. You can
then download the configuration to the switch by using the Download button on
the AOP.
Refer to Save and Restore Switch Configuration on page 168 for more
