Proper Method to Restore Running, Startup and Firmware to PowerConnect 6224 Switch
Hello All,
I have a PowerConnect 6224 switch in production that is configured exactly the way I want it. I have a new PowerConnect 6224 switch that I want to restore the config to; is that possible? My goal is to not have to manually enter settings for every single switch.
I attempted a few methods but they do not seem to work. If someone can tell me the correct procedure or point me in the right direction that would be great!

I also use Solarwinds NCM for automated backup of configs

easy way I do it
connect to your working switch via telnet or terminal session
show running-config and press any key till it all displays
scroll back to top and copy the entire running config and paste into Word
edit the document to remove the text "--More-- or (q)uit"
save the document and when you want to deploy it to another switch edit the Ip address and the Ip default-gateway
connect to the new switch via terminal\console
reset to defaults
copy the new text from the word document an paste in the terminal session to the new switch
Voila ! ! ! the new switch now has the exact config as the backed-up
you can edit the word document further for more changes before pasting to new switch (e.g. different vlans, different port descriptions, vlan membership, receivers etc)
