ESW540 Switch

[Brock Goines]

I would like to copy the config from an existing ESW540 switch to a replacement of the same model. How would I do this? There is no CLI in the ESW540's.

Never used the device before, but does the GUI have an option to download the config to a TFTP or FTP server and than upload it to the new device?

How about a USB port on the device?

Hi Reza,

There isn't a USB port on these.

Hi,

Ok if there is no USB port than just use TFTP or FTP.

Good luck

How would I restore the config to a different device? That is my main concern/question.

Brock,

From the WEB GUI of the ESW540 select the following:

Maintenance > File Management > Copy Configuration File

Choose either via TFTP or via HTTP

Choose BACKUP radial button 

Choose running config for Source File Type

Give it a name in Destination File Name

Click Apply and you should be set.

I} can use TFTp to backup/copy the config. There is no USB port.

Max,

I have done the above steps already but how can I restore that config to a new/replacement device?

Brock,

Very similar to first steps. see below

From the WEB GUI of the ESW540 select the following:

Maintenance > File Management > Copy Configuration File

Choose either via TFTP or via HTTP

Choose UPGRADE radial button this time

Choose Source File Name (the one you backed up from the previous steps)

Choose Destination File Type as running config

Click Apply and you should be set.
