RESTORING A CONFIGURATION Restoring a configuration involves overwriting the configuration on the switch by downloading a previously saved backup configuration file.

To download a configuration to the switch 1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 31. 2. Disable the switch, as described in "Enabling and disabling a switch" on page 37. You can download configurations only to a disabled (offline) switch. You will only be able to disable the switch if you the Admin Domain you are logged into owns the switch. 3.
