Configuration file restoration
8
In case something happens to your switch and you need to set it up again, run the commands listed
in Table 39 and save the output in a file format. Store the files in a safe place for emergency
reference.
CAUTION
The switch has no error checking and edited files may become corrupted and can lead to switch
failures.
Configuration download without disabling a switch
You can download configuration files to a switch while the switch is enabled; that is, you do not
need to disable the switch for changes in SNMP, Fabric Watch, or ACL parameters. However, if there
is any changed parameter that does not belong to SNMP, Fabric Watch, or ACL, then you must
disable the switch. When you use the configDownload command, you will be prompted to disable
the switch only when necessary.
Configuration download without disabling a switch is independent of the hardware platform and
supported on all hardware platforms running Fabric OS v6.1.0 and later.
ATTENTION
In Fabric OS v6.2.0 and later, the configuration download process can only restore logical switches
that already exist and with the same FIDs. It cannot be used to clone or repair the current switch
because the configDownload command cannot create logical switches if they do not exist.
