Hi Brian,
Any switch for which the values are not defined takes those values from the
“default” switch.
So if you use the same VLANs for all switches, you can simply change the
default switch and that will apply to all of them unless specifically overriden.
If you need to change a large number of switches, you may want to use a script
to generate a new conf/switches.conf file instead of manually editing the old
one.
It depends on what is easier for you I suppose and the number of switches to
change.
Regards,
