Requirements
The following requirements apply to the Configuration File feature:
• The Configuration File feature can only be used to copy standalone switch
configuration parameters to other standalone switches or to copy stack
configuration parameters to other stack configurations.
For example, you cannot duplicate the configuration parameters of a unit in a
stack configuration and use it to configure a standalone switch.
• A configuration file obtained from a standalone switch can only be used to
configure other standalone switches that have the same firmware revision and
model type as the donor standalone switch.
• A configuration file obtained from a stack unit can only be used to configure
other stacks that have the same number of switches, firmware version, model
types, and physical IDs as the stack the donor stack unit resides in.
Reconfigured stacks are configured according to the unit order number of the
donor unit. For example, the configuration file parameters from a donor unit
with physical ID x are used to reconfigure the unit with physical ID x.
Table 41 describes configuration file parameter information.
