Managing Switch Configurations
The switch configuration determines the basic operational characteristics of the
switch. A switch can save up to 10 configurations including the default
configuration, named Default Config. The current switch operating characteristics
are determined by the active configuration. Only one configuration can be active
at one time.
Each switch configuration contains switch, port, port threshold alarm, and zoning
configuration components. Managing Switch Configurations describes the
following tasks:
îš„ Displaying a List of Switch Configurations
îš„ Activating a Switch Configuration
îš„ Copying a Switch Configuration
îš„ Deleting a Switch Configuration
îš„ Modifying a Switch Configuration
îš„ Backing Up and Restoring a Switch Configuration
