Downloading a Master Configuration File
This procedure explains how to download a new master configuration file
from a TFTP server to the master switch of a stack. You might perform this
procedure to return the switches of a stack to an earlier configuration or to
assign a stack the same settings as another stack.
Caution
This procedure is disruptive to the network operations of a stack. A
stack resets after receiving a new configuration file. The switches do
not forward network traffic while they initialize their management
software and perform the discovery process.
Review the information in “General Guidelines” on page 100 before
performing this procedure.
If the configuration file that you are downloading is from a different stack,
review these guidelines:
 A configuration file should only be downloaded onto the stack from
where it was taken or from a stack that has the same number and
models of AT-9400 Switches. Otherwise, the behavior of the stack may
be unpredictable.
 If the file contains commands for creating routing interfaces with static
IP addresses, downloading the same configuration file onto more than
one stack may result in IP address conflicts in your network, where
routing interfaces on different stacks have the same IP addresses.
To download a configuration file to the master switch:
1. From the Home page, click the Configuration button.
2. From the Configuration menu, click the Utilities button to display the
System Utilities tab in Figure 29.
