> Managing Remote Console Switch Configuration Files
> Configuration files contain all of the settings for a Remote Console Switch. This includes network settings, SIP configurations, SNMP settings and attached servers. You may save your configuration file and, should you ever need to replace your Remote Console Switch, you can restore the configuration file to the new switch and avoid manually configuring it.
