Chapter 1 About the Switches
If you start from the SD card and then remove it while the switch is running, the
following conditions apply:
• The Device Manager Web interface is no longer be accessible.
• Changes made by using the CLI or the AOP take effect, but are not saved
when the switch is restarted.
• If the SD card is reinserted into the slot, changes are not saved to the card
unless new changes are made. Then the entire configuration is saved to the
card.
SD Card Sync
You can use the Device Manager Web interface or the AOP for the
Logix Designer application to synchronize the SD card for configuration and
IOS updates. The configuration synchronization process synchronizes
config.text and vlan.dat from the chosen source to the chosen destination.
The IOS image synchronization process synchronizes the existing bootable IOS
image from the chosen source to the chosen destination. This process takes
approximately five minutes to complete.
If other files, such as backup configurations, are present on the SD card, they are
not synchronized.
ATTENTION: SD cards commonly have a physical read-only lock switch. If this
switch is engaged, the switch starts from the SD card successfully. Changes
made by using the CLI, AOP, or Device Manager Web interface take effect, but
are not saved when the switch is restarted.
ATTENTION: When synchronizing, be aware of your start-up source, so that you
know which way to synchronize. Device Manager provides this information on
the SD Card Sync tab. You can overwrite your desired configuration if you
synchronize in the wrong direction.
