Figure 229   Management > Maintenance > Restore Configuration 
Type the path and file name of the configuration file you wish to restore in the File Path text box or 
click Browse to locate it. After you have specified the file, click Restore. "config" is the name of 
the configuration file on the Switch, so your backup configuration file is automatically renamed 
when you restore using this screen.
38.5  Backup a Configuration File  
Use this screen to save and store your current device settings.
Backing up your Switch configurations allows you to create various “snap shots” of your device from 
which you may restore at a later date.
Back up your current Switch configuration to a computer using the Backup Configuration screen. 
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses 
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top 
navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done 
configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Firmware Choose to upload the new firmware to (Firmware) 1 or (Firmware) 2.
File Path Type the path and file name of the firmware file you wish to upload to the Switch in the 
File Path text box or click Browse to locate it. 
Upgrade Click Upgrade to load the new firmware. Firmware upgrades are only applied after a 
reboot. To reboot, go to Management > Maintenance > Reboot System and click 
Config 1, Config 2 or Factory Default (Config 1, Config 2 and Factory Default 
are the configuration files you want the Switch to use when it restarts).
