Reusing configuration data
If several devices are to receive the same configuration and the IP addresses are assigned
using DHCP, the effort for configuration can be reduced by saving and reading in the
configuration data.
Follow the steps below to reuse configuration data:
1. Save the configuration data of a configured device on your PC.
2. Load this configuration file on all other devices you want to configure in this way.
3. If individual settings are necessary for specific devices, these must be made online on the
relevant device.
Note
Configuration data has a checksum. If you edit the files, you can no longer upload them to the
IE switch.

TFTP

Loading and saving data via a TFTP server
On this page, you can configure the TFTP server and the file names. The WBM also allows
you to store device data in an external file on a TFTP server or to load such data from an
external file from the TFTP server to the devices. This means, for example, that you can also
load new firmware from a file located on a TFTP server.
