SLX - Saving a Configuration File

Confirmation of Managed Switch

This information applies only to managed switches. The following part numbers are managed switches:

• ET-xMS-xxx
• ET-xMG-xxx
• SL(X)-xMS-xxx
• SL(X)-xMG-xxx
• EKxx
• EFxx
• ELxxx

An x can indicates any number or letter. All other part numbers are for unmanaged or ring switches and are treated as plug and play.

All configuration management is done from the Advanced Operations menu, on the Configuration Management screen. From this screen, you can upload and download checkpoints to and from the switch.

NOTE: These models do not allow multiple configurations to be stored on the switch concurrently.
