Configuration Save And Restore; Important Considerations - 3Com SuperStack 3 3812 Implementation Manual

Configuration Save
and Restore
Flow control is supported on ports operating in half duplex mode, and is
implemented using the IEEE Std 802.3-2002 (incorporating 802.3x) on
ports operating in full duplex mode.
For more information about auto-negotiation and port capabilities, see
Chapter 2 "Optimizing
The Configuration Save and Restore feature allows the configuration of
your Switch to be saved as a file on a remote server, or to be restored
onto the Switch from a remote file. The configuration information is
stored in an readable ASCII text file.
All configuration information that can be set using the Switch's
Command Line Interface is saved and restored.
You must have read/write management access level to be able to save
and restore the Switch configuration.

Important Considerations

3Com recommends the Switch unit is reset to its factory default
■
settings before you restore a configuration onto it. You can reset the
Switch using the
System > Control > Initialize Web interface operation.
The configuration can only be restored onto a device which has the
■
same physical connections and configuration, as when the
configuration was initially saved. The restore operation will be
unsuccessful if the physical configuration of the device is different.
The configuration of the Switch must only be restored or saved by a
■
single user at a time.
When using the Configuration Save and Restore feature, 3Com
■
recommends that aggregated links are configured as either:
Manual aggregations with Link Aggregation Configuration
■
Protocol (LACP) disabled on the ports that are to be manually
placed in the aggregated link.
or
LACP automatic aggregations — that is, LACP enabled on all ports
■
and the aggregated links created automatically. The aggregated
link should be enabled and Spanning Tree Protocol enabled.
