Chapter 2 Get Started
Configuration Files The switch configuration files (config.text and vlan.dat) are in ASCII
human-readable format. This configuration file is stored in nonvolatile
memory and is read into the Random Access Memory (RAM) of the switch as
the running configuration when the switch is powered up. When any changes
are made to the configuration, the changes immediately take effect in the
running configuration. Device Manager and the Logix Designer application
automatically save changes to internal memory to be retained for the next
power-up cycle. Any changes that are made via the CLI must be manually saved
in internal memory to be retained for the next power-up cycle.
Manage Configuration Files via Device Manager
From the File Management menu, choose Load/Save and then do one of the
following:
• To copy a configuration file from a file on another device to the internal
memory, do the following:
a. Enter the directory name of the folder on the switch.
b. Browse to select the file.
c. Click Upload.
• To download a configuration file from the internal memory to your
computer, right-click the link and choose Save Link As.
