Upload/Download
You can store (upload) the configuration of an installed card from its flash
memory to an external disk and restore it (download) to the flash memory
of the original card — or to the flash memory of a different card of the
same type — at a later time. You can initiate this operation only through
the LMA and not via a SNMP management application like Transcend.
This feature lets you:
Back up your switch configuration in case of switch failure
Transfer the configuration from one switch to another
Maintain various standard configuration templates which can be
loaded according to requirement
The configuration upload works for individual cards installed in the
CoreBuilder 7000: either the active switch card or a CoreBuilder 7X00
Interface Card. You select the card whose configuration you want to
download or upload from a list of installed cards.
When the switch operates in single-IP mode, you can use this facility to
upload the configuration of any of the installed cards through the LMA of
the switch card. When the switch is operating in multiple-IP mode, you
can use this facility to upload the configuration of the switch card only.
