Configuration Cloning
Configuration Cloning enables you to clone the configuration from one aggregator to the other. It identifies a source aggregator
where running configuration is check-pointed, extracted and downloaded to the target aggregator for further use. The target
aggregator checks the compatibility of the cloning file regarding the mode, port types and optional modules. The target
aggregator further takes care of the conflicting configurations and appropriately proceeds with the application of the cloning
configuration.
