Upload and Download the Configuration
When you make changes to the switch, the configuration information is stored in a file on the
switch. You can backup the configuration by uploading the configuration file from the switch
to an administrative system. You can download a saved configuration file from the
administrative system to the switch. The configuration file you download to the switch
overwrites the running configuration on the switch.
Configuration upload and download is useful if you want to save a copy of the current switch
configuration (Upload Conf

changes, you can use the Download Configuration option to restore the switch to the settings
in the saved configuration file.

nance tab and select the device with the configuration to save.
2. Click Upl
oad Configuration.

3. Navigat
