4.2.7 Configuration Save

This function allows backup and reload the current configuration of the Managed Switch to the local management station. The
screen in Figure 4-2-10 appears.
You can save/view or load the switch configuration. The configuration file is in XML format with a hierarchy of tags:
Header tags: <?xml version="1.0"?> and <configuration>. These tags are mandatory and must be present at the beginning
of the file.
Section tags: <platform>, <global> and <switch>. The platform section must be the first section tag and this section must
include the correct platform ID and version. The global section is optional and includes configuration which is not related to
specific switch ports. The switch section is optional and includes configuration which is related to specific switch ports.
Module tags: <ip>, <mac>, <port> etc. These tags identify a module controlling specific parts of the configuration.
Group tags: <port_table>, <vlan_table> etc. These tags identify a group of parameters, typically a table.
Parameter tags: <mode>, <entry> etc. These tags identify parameters for the specific section, module and group. The
<entry> tag is used for table entries.
Configuration parameters are represented as attribute values. When saving the configuration from the switch, the entire
configuration including syntax descriptions is included in the file. The file may then be modified using an editor and loaded to a
switch.
The example below shows a small configuration file only including configuration of the MAC address age time and the learning
mode per port. When loading this file, only the included parameters will be changed. This means that the age time will be set to
200 and the learn mode will be set to automatic.
