3.6 Configuration File Save/Restore Function
The Configuration File Save/Restore Function allows a user the ability to
backup all the configuration settings of a unit. With this backup, a user can
restore settings to a unit if necessary or use this backup to apply the same
settings to a different unit.
All configurable managed objects are saved in a configuration file that is stored
in the unit’s Large File Area. This includes all configurable settings such as
VLAN configurations, IP Address configuration and SNMP agent settings. The
configuration file can be transferred from the unit to a PC and saved to disk
through the iView

(iConfig view) protocol. The configuration file can be
transferred from a PC to a unit of the same type through iView

or TFTP into the unit’s Large File Area. After the transfer is complete, the unit
copies the configuration to flash and reboots.
The configuration file’s contents is device-type specific and can be identified by
