6.5.5 Notes on importing a backup configuration file

When you copy a backup configuration file to the Switch's running configuration by using the copy operation command, the port being used is restarted. Be careful if you are logged in over a network.

If the contents of the backup configuration file are inconsistent with the Switch's actual configuration, amend the file and then use the copy operation command. If you execute the copy command on an inconsistent backup configuration file, the command will either return an error, or it might complete successfully but the file contents will not be applied properly. Amend the file, and then re-execute the copy command.
