I've never had any issues with restoring the vlan.dat to a different type of switch than the one from which it was pulled. Thanks

In that case the backuped copy can easily be used to configure the 35xx after a failure but the problem is that I am not sure that the 35xx would accept the vlan.dat file from a 29xx. As well as the file is coded, you can not re-add the vlan manually neither. >This is how CiscoWorks does a full backup. > > Thanks for the info, >Thanks...Also, "Vlan Database" is in the process of being deprecated >anyways. > Any link about the replacement command ? I will try to find if there is a OID for the vlan definition.
