CHAPTER 15: MAINTENANCE
15.1.2 BACKUP
This section describes how to export the Switch Configuration for maintenance. Any current configuration files will be exported as
text format.
The configuration files on the switch can be backed up and saved on the station running the web browser.
You can transfer any of the files on the switch to the web browser. Select the running-config. This may take a little while to complete,
because the file must be prepared before backup.
WEB INTERFACE
To backup configuration in the web interface:
1. Click Maintenance, Configuration and Backup.
2. Click Backup.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
running-config: A virtual file that represents the currently active configuration on the switch. This file is volatile.
startup-config: The startup configuration for the switch, read at boot time.
default-config: A read-only file with vendor-specific configuration. This file is read when the system is restored to default settings.
Button
Download Configuration: Click the button, then the switch will start to transfer the configuration file to your workstation.
15.1.3 RESTORE
You can import a file from the web browser to all the files on the switch, except default-config, which is read-only.
Select the source file to restore, and select the destination file on the target.
If the destination is running-config, the file will be applied to the switch configuration. This can be done in two ways:
Replace mode: The current configuration is fully replaced with the configuration specified in the source file.
Merge mode: The source file configuration is merged into running-config.
