I have tried for days to copy a saved configuration to my Cisco 3650 switch using putty through the concole port on the switch. Each time I try every single line loads with this error - Invalid input detected at '^' marker. I have restored the default configuration, saved it in a .txt file and attempted to restore it and I still get error - Invalid input detected at '^' marker. What am I doing wrong?
Example:
Translating "security-level"...domain server (255.255.255.255)
% Unknown command or computer name, or unable to find computer address
Switch> ip address dhcp setroute
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Switch>!
Switch>interface GigabitEthernet1/2
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Switch> nameif inside
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Switch> security-level 100
% Unknown command or computer name, or unable to find computer address
Switch> ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

You are on the wrong command prompt.
Example:
Switch>interface GigabitEthernet1/2
Should be:
Switch(config)#interface GigabitEthernet1/2
Please, refers to the following guide:
