Cloning ? of GS108T settings to GS724T

Maybe I don't have the correct search term, but I just purchased a 24 port switch (GS724T) as I have outgrown the 8 port GS108T. I want to know if there is a way to transfer all of the setup info from on too the other so I don't have to go through the 3 days of setup I went through with the 8 port switch. Maybe the answer is to unplug something and just daisy chain? Would that mean everything going onto the new switch would be on a different subnet? I know just enough about all of this stuff to be a danger to myself and others, any assistance would be most appreciated.

    It depends on how your GS108T was setup. If it doesn't have any configuration like you just plug and play it before, then you can just do the same thing. But if you have other configs, then you can just copy it. There is no way that we can transfer or use the config file as the hardware version is not the same.

      GS724Tv4 setup was easier than ever. I just started from scratch and added a LAG and plugged everything in one item at a time. Only had one hiccup with a networked printer that got confused. Other than that, no issues. Thanks for making this easy. No kidding it took 2 hours and was done.

       

      Thanks
