Managing Configuration and Image Files
MatrixSeriesdevicesprovideasingleconfigurationinterfacewhichallowsyoutoperformboth
switchandrouterconfigurationwiththesamecommandset.Thedevicealsoprovidesredundant,
distributedcopiesofeachimagefileintheeventthatDFEmodulesareaddedorremovedfrom
theMatrixchassis.Whenmanagingconfiguration
andimagefilesontheMatrixSeriesdevice,itis
importanttorememberthefollowingconsiderations:
•Allmoduleswillhavethesameimagefilesloaded.Ifamoduleisinsertedintoachassis,any
imagesuniquetothatmodulewillbedeleted,andanyimagesnotonthatmodulewillbe

copiedtoit.
• Configurationfilesarestoredperslot,witheachslotinthechassiscarryinguniquefileswith
