Hello meeta
And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂
I would like you to know that in the event that the switch may go bad. It is always a good practice to have backup of your config so that when Netgear replaced your switch you can easily load back the config and you do not have to worry about configuring the switch from scratch.
