Archiving a switch
You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters. This archive file can be used
to restore the configuration on the same switch or on a replacement switch. You can also use the archive
file as a template for configuring new switches to add to a fabric.
Basically any data received by Enterprise Fabric Management Suite is archived. Passwords are not
archived. Security Group secrets are not included in the archive and must be re-configured using the CLI
after a restore.
Archived parameters include:
• Switch properties and statistics
• IP configuration
• SNMP configuration
• Port properties and statistics
• Name server
• Date/Time and NTP settings
• Alarm configuration
• Zoning configuration
• Nicknames configuration
• Call Home parameters
• User account information (but not restored)
• Configured security (available only with SSL connection to the switch)
• RADIUS Server information (available only with SSL connection to the switch)
To archive a switch:
1. Select a switch in the fabric tree.
2. Select Switch > Archive.
3. In the Save dialog box, enter a file name.
4. Click Save.
