45.11.1 Switch Configuration File
When you configure the Switch using either the CLI (Command Line Interface) or web
configurator, the settings are saved as a series of commands in a configuration file on the
Switch. You can perform the following with a configuration file:
• Back up Switch configuration once the Switch is set up to work in your network.
• Restore Switch configuration.
• Use the same configuration file to set all switches (of the same model) in your network to
the same settings.
" You may also edit a configuration file using a text editor.
" Make sure you use valid commands. The Switch rejects configuration files with
invalid or incomplete commands.
45.11.2 Logging Out
In User or Enable mode, enter the exit or logout command to log out of the CLI. In Config
mode entering
exit takes you out of the Config mode and into Enable mode and entering
logout logs you out of the CLI.
