Copy configuration from ProSafe GS748Tv5 to ProSafe GS752TP

Hi I am running a ProSafe GS748Tv5 (firmware 6.3.1.4) and was wondering if there's a way to copy the config over to a ProSafe GS752TP (firmware 6.0.1.16).  

 

I can copy/restore the config from the GS752TP back over to the GS752TP, however was wondering if it's possible to copy between the two?

 

The error I get when copying the GS748Tv5 "config" file over to the GS752TP is: "Copy: Missing or wrong configuration file header"

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank You!

  • Hello Net-Gear-Man, 

     

    Even though the GS748Tv5 and the GS752TP belong to the same switch family (Gigabit Smart Switch) they cannot use a config file from another model. As you can see, the GS752TP is a PoE switch so it has its own configuration script designed specifically for its function. Some of the scripts are not available on the GS748Tv5 and they have different headers as mentioned in the error message. Also, it is always required to have at least the same firmware version when restoring configuration files. 

     

    Let us know if you have more questions. 

     

    Thanks,
