Using Maintenance Features

Backup and Restore Configuration

Select this option from Maintenance menu to save the product configuration stored
on the switch to the HAFM server hard disk or to restore the product configuration
from the HAFM server. Only a single copy of the configuration is kept on the server.
The purpose of the back up is primarily for restoring configuration data to a
replacement switch. You can also use this feature for a special purpose configuration
or for temporary testing of a configuration. You cannot modify the location and file
name of the saved configuration.
NOTE: You can only restore the configuration to a switch with the same IP address.

Backup

1. Select Backup and Restore Configuration from the Maintenance menu on the
