Networking Requirements

In Figure 1, back up the configuration file of the switch to a file server, so that the configuration file can be restored if the switch is damaged unexpectedly. Additionally, the configuration file can be downloaded from the file server to the switch if incorrect configurations cause abnormal functions.
