The procedure for the configuration import / export for an XS series switch via the webinterface is described in this Knowledge Base article . The procedure for the configuration import / export for an XS series switch via LANconfig is described in this Knowledge Base article. |
Requirements:
- LANCOM managed switch of the following series:
- GS-23xx
- GS-3xxx
- XS-51xx
- SSH must be active on the switch
- SCP client (e.g. PSCP)
- Any web browser for accessing the webinterface for saving the to save configuration as the start configuration (GS-23xx and GS-3xxx) or loading to activate the start configuration (XS series)
...
The procedure is basically the same for all switch types. As the different switch series use different file formats for the configuration files, this has to be taken into consideration for the file extension.
GS-23xx series:
1) Saving the switch configuration:
1.1) Start an instance of the Windows command line and go the menu where the tool PSCP is saved. If you installed the PuTTY utilities via the "Windows Installer" package, PSCP can also be run directly.
1.2) Enter the command in the format pscp -P 22 -pw <password> -scp <user name>@<IP address>:config C:\Temp\<file name>.xml to save the configuration file in the folder C:\Temp.
...

The parameter -P 22 makes sure, that the port 22 is used for the SSH connection. If you are using another port it has to be modified accordingly. The parameter -P has to be capitalized. If you omit the destination folder and only specify the file name (e.g. configuration.xml), the file is saved in the folder, from where PSCP is invoked. The configuration file of a GS-23xx series switch has to be saved as XML file. |

2) Uploading the switch configuration:
Nach dem Import der Konfiguration als Startup Configuration muss diese noch aktiv geschaltet werden. Dazu muss die Konfiguration neu geladen oder alternativ der Switch neugestartet werden.
Wenn eine Konfigurations-Sicherung mit Stacking-Einstellungen importiert wird, muss anschließend zwingend ein Neustart des Gerätes erfolgen, damit die Einstellungen übernommen werden.
...
Af ter importing a switch configuration as start configuration it has to be activated. To do this the configuration has to be activated or as an alternative the switch can also be rebooted.
