Data Storage
Configuration backup is inherent in the SMD2000-24E. Default parameters remain in
place unless changed using the CLI, web management system, or SNMP.
Memory
Parameter configurations are automatically recorded in both Random Access Memory
(RAM) and Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM).
Data stored only in RAM, such as traffic statistics and link up/down time, will be erased if
the SMD2000-24E loses power.
Data stored in NVRAM, such as management and port parameter configurations, will
remain intact (even if the SMD2000-24E loses power) unless deliberately cleared or
reconfigured.
Saving to Local Files
SMD2000-24E management and port configurations can be uploaded to a local file on
your PC or local network via the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) GET command.
Configuration files can also be downloaded from a local file to an SMD2000-24E with a
TFTP PUT command. Refer to your TFTP program’s help for further instructions.
SMD2000-24E Backup
An SMD2000-24E backup file records all management and port configurations.
