V3.1.x and V4.1.x
Description
Use this command to load the switch configuration file from a host system. The
configuration file is ASCII text and may have been generated using
configUpload, or it may have been created by a user to download specific
configuration changes. The download process uses FTP or Remote Shell Server
(RSHD).
Note: V3.1.x supports FTP and RSHD protocol for configuration downloads. RSHD
does not require the passwd operand. FTP always requires the passwd operand.
V4.1.x only supports FTP. No spaces are allowed between operands.
To restore the configuration file from a Microsoft® Windows NT® system using
FTP, the FTP server may have to be installed from the distribution media and
enabled.
This command can be invoked without any operands, and becomes an interactive
session where you are prompted for input.
A switch’s identity cannot be changed by configDownload. These parameters
(such as the switch’s name and IP address) are ignored.
The download process is additive; that is, the lines read from the file are added to
the current switch configuration. This enables you to change a single
configuration variable by downloading a file with a single line. All other variables
