Saving configuration data and enabling layer 3 functionality
A PLUG is an exchangeable storage medium for storing the configuration data of the device.
This allows fast and uncomplicated replacement of a device. The PLUG is taken from the
previous device and inserted in the new device. The first time it is started up, the
replacement device has the same configuration as the previous device except for the device-
specific MAC address set by the vendor.
A C-PLUG stores the current information about the configuration of a device.
In addition to the configuration, a KEY-PLUG also contains a license with which layer 3
functionality is enabled.
Note
The device can also be operated without a C-PLUG/KEY-PLUG.
