Using the Console Interface309978-D Rev 01 3-127• A configuration file obtained from a standalone switch can be used only toconfigure other standalone switches that have the same software revision andmodel type as the donor standalone switch.You can check your switch’s current software revision using the SystemCharacteristics screen (see “System Characteristics” on page 3-16).• A configuration file obtained from a stack unit can be used only to configureother “mirror-imaged” stacks. For example, the “new” stack must have thesame number of switches and model types (in the same unit number locations)and the same software version as the stack in which the donor stack unitresides.You can check your switch’s current software revision using the SystemCharacteristics screen (see “System Characteristics” on page 3-16).Reconfigured stacks are configured according to the unit order number of thedonor unit. For example, the configuration file parameters from a donor unitwith physical ID x are used to reconfigure the unit with physical ID x.• The configuration file also duplicates any settings that exist for any MDA thatis installed in the donor switch.If you use the configuration file to configure another switch that has the sameMDA model installed, the configuration file settings will also apply to andoverride the existing MDA settings.Table 3-45.
