Requirements for storing and retrieving configuration parameters on a
TFTP server
The following requirements apply when storing and retrieving configuration
parameters on a TFTP server:
The Configuration File feature can only be used to copy standalone
switch configuration parameters to other standalone switches.
A configuration file obtained from a standalone switch can only be used
to configure other standalone switches that have the same firmware
revision and model type as the donor standalone switch.
The configuration file also duplicates any settings that exist for any GBIC
that is installed in the donor switch.
If you use the configuration file to configure another switch that has
the same GBIC model installed, the configuration file settings can also
apply to and override the existing GBIC settings.
Table 150 "Parameters not saved to the configuration file" (page
333) describes the parameters that are not saved to the configuration file.
