• SNMP configuration (trap recipients, community names,
and write authorizations).
• Zoning configuration (active zone set and default zone
state).
2. To backup data, click Backup.
3. When the dialog box appears confirming that the backup of
configuration is complete, click OK.
If the backup fails, a dialog box displays to inform you that the
backup to the server failed.
Restore
1. Set the switch offline before performing the restore function.
2. Click Restore on the Backup and Restore Configuration dialog box to
restore the backed up configuration to the nonvolatile random
access memory (NV-RAM) on the switch.
Set the switch to offline before performing the restore function. If
you select Restore and the switch is online, a message dialog
displays requesting that you turn the switch offline. No action
takes place when you close the dialog box. For instructions on
setting the switch offline or online, refer to Set Online State on
page 5-4.
If the switch is already offline and you click the Restore button, a
confirmation dialog box displays indicating that the restore will
overwrite any existing configuration already on the switch. The
dialog box also displays the date of the restored backup. Click
OK.
Note that the restore operation initiates an IPL.
3. Set the switch back online when the restore completes.
Reset Configuration
You must have maintenance authorization rights to access this feature.
This option resets all configuration data input through options in the
Configuration menu, zoning configurations, and switch addressing to
factory-default values. Since the current IP address for the switch
may not match the factory default address, the Ethernet link between
the switch and the service processor may drop and not reset. Before
