immediately following a Device Restore or Setup operation on these
devices.
5 In order to prevent loss of communication between Network Director and
the target device, the Device Restore operation will not change the IP
address, subnet mask or default gateway being used by the device prior
to the operation being started.
6 Switch 1100/3300 - The Device Restore operation may be unable to find
the list of associated backups for the target device, if the target device is
made up of two different Switch 1100/3300 units, and one of the units
has been replaced since the device was last backed up. If this situation
occurs, please contact 3Com Customer Support.
7 Switch 4400 and Switch 4005 - The progress bar for the Device Restore
and Device Setup operations on the Switch 4400 and Switch 4005
devices, represent how far through the file transfer process the operation
is at any time. This progress bar will read 100% once the chosen backup
file has been completely transferred to the target device.
However, both the Switch 4400 and Switch 4005 devices require some
additional time following the transfer of the file for the configuration to
be applied. The time required by these devices may range from one
minute to one hour, depending upon the size and complexity of the
target device and the configuration being applied. A typical device and
configuration is expected to require less than five minutes.
The Device Restore and Setup operations will wait for the devices to apply
the configuration changes, but this will not be reflected by the progress
bar. Subsequently, the system may look to have been suspended for some
time, when it is simply waiting for the target device to complete its
configuration changes. Therefore, please allow these operations time to
complete, and do not cancel them unless required.
8 If the Device Backup and Restore operations detect that the target device
has changed since it was last discovered, they will suggest that the map is
rediscovered to ensure that it is up-to-date. However, if these operations
continue to display this message for the same device(s), after
rediscovering the network map, then you should rediscover the network
map again, but from a new (empty) map.
9 Switch 4400 - The Device Restore and Setup operations do not take the
position of any cascade modules into consideration when determining
whether or not a backup can be applied to a target device. However,
Switch 4400 devices will reject an attempt to restore their configuration,
if they contain a cascade module that is in a different slot from when the
