Managing Remote Console Switch Configuration Files
Configuration files contain all of the settings for a Remote Console Switch. This includes
network settings, SIP configurations, SNMP settings and attached servers. You may save your
configuration file and, should you ever need to replace your Remote Console Switch, you can
restore the configuration file to the new switch and avoid manually configuring it.
NOTE: User account information is stored in the user database, not in the configuration file. For more
information, see “Managing User Databases” on page 78.
