VLAN configuration - GS728TP?
We have seven GS728TP switches in our network, and kept a spare on hand to quickly replace one in the event of a failure. We recently used the spare to expand the network. The replacement we ordered is a GS728TPv2.
Looking at the text file backups, there is a significant difference in the format of the information. My question is whether the GS728TPv2 has the ability to read and/or correctly configure itself from a backup of a GS728TP?
Thanks!

Hi Makophin,
Welcome to our community! :)
Unfortunately, we cannot upload the configuration file from GS728TP to GS728TPv2. I suggest you to take some screenshots and just replicate the configuration from the old one. Even their firmware are different, it may end up bricking the switch once you upload the configuration file.
If ever your concern has been addressed or resolved, I encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accepted Solution” so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution. The NETGEAR Community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!
