Otherwise, if the System mode is changed, the following cases are
possible:
- If the configuration file is downloaded onto the device (using the
Download/Backup Configuration/Log page), the operation is aborted,
and a message is displayed indicating that the System mode must be
changed in the System Mode and Stack Management page.
- If the configuration file is downloaded during an automatic configuration
process, the Startup Configuration file is deleted and the device reboots
automatically in the new System mode. The device is configured with an
empty configuration file. See DHCP Auto Configuration.
See Configuration After Reboot for a description of what happens when
the stacking modes are changed.
Downloading or Backing-up a Configuration or Log File
To backup or restore the system configuration file:
STEP 1 Click Administration > File Management > Download/Backup Configuration/
Log.
STEP 2 Select the Transfer Method.
STEP 3 If you selected via TFTP, enter the parameters. Otherwise, skip to STEP 4.
Select either Download or Backup as the Save Action.
Download Save Action—Specifies that the file on another device replaces a file
type on the device. Enter the following fields:
a. Server Definition—Select whether to specify the TFTP server by IP address
or by domain name.
b. IP Version—Select whether an IPv4 or an IPv6 address is used.
NOTE If the server is selected by name in the Server Definition, there is no
need to select the IP Version related options.
c. IPv6 Address Type—Select the IPv6 address type (if used). The options are:
- Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single
network link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and
can be used for communication only on the local network. Only one link
local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface,
this entry replaces the address in the configuration.
