console interface, a Web interface, or an SNMP interface. Refer to the management interface 
reference guides for information on how to configure the switch modules.

TFTP server. The backup configuration file can then be downloaded from the TFTP server to 
restore the switch module back to the original configuration, under one of the following 
conditions: 

• 
• 

The switch module configuration gets corrupted during operation. 

The switch module needs to be replaced due to hardware failure.
