Swapping out a replacement 8206zl

[mrbios]

This may seem as a stupid question to some of you but as i've never had to do it before i want to check the proper procedure...

Soon i'll be swapping out a faulty HP 8206zl with a new chassis, i've taken a backup of literally every config file and flash that i think i can.

Am i right in thinking that by exporting the flash that everything from firmware version to the routing setup should be included making that the only file i'll actually need? or will i need to import the running-config and/or startup-config as well?

Thanks

Do a write memory and tftp the running config to a TFTP server. When you have the new switch up and running on the network with a basic config, just do the reverse and TFTP down the config and give it a reboot. It will be working as the old one did.

The commands are (from memory so check) :

copy running-config tftp tftp-server-ip filename <--- upload config to TFTP server
copy tftp startup-config tftp-server-ip filename <----downloads config from TFTP server

Just to be on the safe side i've done all of the following:
copy running-config tftp tftp-server-ip filename
copy startup-config tftp tftp-server-ip filename
copy default-config tftp tftp-server-ip filename
copy flash tftp tftp-server-ip filename primary
copy flash tftp tftp-server-ip filename secondary

Just to be on the safe side, but i was thinking that rather than using the configs, if i used the flash then wouldn't it have the exact same firmware version included?
