NOTE: The delay timer at the bottom of the Apply Baseline dialog box cannot be configured from here. It
is propagated from current settings in the sequenced reboot group and represented by the combination of
Fabric Stabilization timeout and Delay after Fabric Stabilization parameters.
A series of prompts are displayed to ensure that you are not downloading a configuration accidentally,
after the prompts, the Apply Baseline window opens.
The root navigation tree divides the switches into the following two groups:
• Non-Reboot Configuration Group: Any switches that do not need to reboot if a parameters user
attempts a download.
• Reboot Configuration Group: Any switches that need to reboot if a parameters user attempts a
download.
6. Click Apply.
Fabric Manager issues an additional prompt to verify that you want to proceed. The download
proceeds one group at a time. The status of each switch is displayed in the right window.
