Manage the Switch Configuration and Firmware

The Maintenance tab includes links to perform the following tasks:

. Upload the configuration file from the switch 

to an administrative system or other network location or download the configuration file 
from a remote device to the switch.

. Load a new firmware image on the switch. 

Upload and Download the Configuration

When you make changes to the switch, the configuration information is stored in a file on the 
switch. You can backup the configuration by uploading the configuration file from the switch 
to an administrative system. You can download a saved configuration file from the 
administrative system to the switch. The configuration file you download to the switch 
overwrites the running configuration on the switch. 

Configuration upload and download is useful if you want to save a copy of the current switch 
configuration (Upload Configuration) before you make changes. If you do not like the 
changes, you can use the Download Configuration option to restore the switch to the settings 
in the saved configuration file.
