Copying SG 300/350, CBS 350 Config between models with different ports

[AbbyDoc]

Hello,

I do a lot of work with SG300/350 and the CBS350 with different number of ports.

I would like to know if I can back up the running config from say a CBS350 8 port to a CBS350 48 port for example of even to any of the SG300/350 switches and if there are any specific steps I need to follow?

Best Regards

You can backup using the back config from GUI, but I would not suggest directly copying it into the new Switch since the port config may have differences.

Instead, remove the port config make a Template of the base config and paste it on the switch, that should work.

If you have many switches built, do basic template put in TFTP and start copying the config from TFTP to device after basic IP configuration.

or you looking any PNP or ZTP setup ?

@balaji.bandi Thank you for the prompt reply.

Which part of the port config do I remove from the config backup?

How do I make a template?

Is there a reference document guide that could help with detailed steps?

There is no reference documents here, it's all requirement of business to business 

take the example one of the switch works as standard setup as per the needs

from SSH or console show run copy all the config to notepad.

1. change the hostname (for the new switch)

2. Interface config standard (depends on mode and port)

3. VLAN config

4. Interface IP address 

: Look at the show run to give you a rough idea of what part of the config is mandatory.

Enterprise switch follows below thread - there is an excel download and input the values for the new switch and change as per the needs)

@balaji.bandi Hi,

Thanks for your help last time.

I would like to import the attached backed up config into a CBS 350-8P-E-2G switch?

What will I need to do to make it work?

Regards,

AbbyDoc

[balaji.bandi]

i am not clear, you like to use the backup config in to new switch - with new IP information and new VLAN and add in to new switch ?

or you looking to Migrate the config from old to new ?

I am looking to migrate config from old to new with less ports.

....................

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/4

.................

Remove below config

ip igmp snooping vlan 10 static 239.255.255.250 interface gi1/0/1-12,te1/0/1

Remove Crypto :

from

---- BEGIN SSH2 PRIVATE KEY ----

to

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

save config and paste the new config to new switch.

paste few lines at a time so you can see any error  (make sure you capture the console output)

Once all config accepted, above interface config and igmp config add accordingly ports you have in new switch.,

I am not good with the Command line interface. Can I remove all the lines and use the web option to apply the config?
