Managing The Configuration; Backing Up The Configuration; Restoring The Configuration - HP 1920 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Series User Manual

Managing the configuration

You can back up, restore, save, or reset the device configuration.

Backing up the configuration

Configuration backup allows you to do the following:
Open and view the configuration files for the next startup, including the .cfg file and .xml file.
•
Back up the configuration files for the next startup to your local host.
•
IMPORTANT:
HP recommends backing up both the .cfg and .xml files. If you back up only the .cfg file, some
configuration information might not be restored when, for example, the configuration is mistakenly
removed.
To back up the configuration:
1. Select Device > Configuration from the navigation tree.
The Backup page appears.
