Importing and Exporting Distributed Switch Configuration
vSphere 5.1 added the ability to export (save) and import (load) the coni guration of a distrib-
uted switch. This functionality can serve a number of purposes; one purpose that we just men-
tioned is to manually “roll back” to a previously saved coni guration.
To export (save) the coni guration of a distributed switch to a i le, perform these steps:
1.
Log into a vCenter Server instance using the vSphere Web Client.
2.
Navigate to the distributed switch whose coni guration you'd like to save.
➢
3.
From the Actions menu, select All vCenter Actions
Export Coni guration. This opens
the Export Coni guration dialog box.
