Are you sure you want to copy the complete configuration to a different device? It will over-write the management IP address, and cut of your connectivity.

the easiest way to put configurations to devices is to use configuration templates

please have a look at the IMC Adminguide (Creating a configuration template )

Think through your plan. What would happen if you just pasted the configuration onto your new switch? The management IP address is not the last thing in the config, so what will happen is that halfway through you will get kicked out.

As suggested, a configuration template sounds like a better approach.
