4.8.2.4
SNMP Trap Configuration
The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are set. Table 4-8 describes the
SNMP configuration parameters.
4.8.3
Configuration Backup
Changes made to the switch since it was manufactured can be saved to a file in
non-volatile memory. However the backup is lost if the switch is reset. Use the
FTP User Images procedures to save the configdata file to the workstation. (In
FTP, no directory listing is available. The configuration backup file is always
named configdata.) Refer to the ”Config Command” on page A-7 for information
about backing up a configuration.
4.8.4
Configuration Restore
Switch configurations can be “cloned” to easily propagate an identical
configuration to other switches. Use the FTP User Images procedures with the
Put command to send the previously saved (using config backup) configdata file
to the switch. Use the Config Restore command to return the switch configuration
to the previously saved configuration. The switch is automatically reset upon a
successful restore. Refer to the ”Config Command” on page A-7 for information
about restoring a configuration.
