Restoring a switch loads the archived switch configuration parameters to the 
switch. The switch configuration must be archived before it can be restored. The 
switch archive must be compatible with the switch to be restored; that is, you can 
restore a 

SANbox 5600 Series 

switch only with an archive from a 

SANbox 5600 

Series 

switch. Refer to 

 for more information.

To restore a switch, do the following:

1.

Log in to the fabric through the switch you want to restore. You cannot 
restore a switch over an ISL.

2.

Open the Switch menu in the faceplate display and select Restore to display 
the Restore dialog shown in 

. The Restore dialog offers a Full 

Restore and a Selective Restore tab.

                                                                                           

The switch being restored should be physically disconnected from 
the fabric. Restoring a switch in a fabric can severely disrupt the 
fabric. After the restore process is complete, the switch can be 
reconnected to the fabric.
