You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters. 
Basically any data received by SANsurfer Switch Manager is archived. However, 
passwords are not archived with the user account information. Archived 
parameters include the following:

„

Switch properties and statistics

„

IP configuration

„

SNMP configuration

„

Port properties and statistics

„

Alarm configuration

„

Zoning configuration

This archive file can be used to restore the configuration on the same switch or on 
a replacement switch. You can also use the archive file as a template for 
configuring new switches to add to a fabric. Security settings and user account 
information are not archived. The archive can be used later to restore the switch. 
Refer to 

 for more information. 

To archive a switch, do the following:

1.

Open the Switch menu in the faceplate display and select Archive.

2.

In the Save dialog, enter a file name.

3.

Click the Save button.

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 5200 Series 

switch only with an archive from a 

SANbox 5200 

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.

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.
