Backing up the configuration
Save all key configuration data for the Brocade DCX-4S, including license key information, and upload it to a host for
reference. Routine backups of the configuration are recommended to ensure the current configuration is available.
1. Log on to the switch by Telnet, using the admin account.
2. After zoning configurations and other changes are complete, back up the configuration by typing configUpload
at the prompt. This command uploads the Brocade DCX-4S configuration to the server so that it is available for
downloading to a replacement Brocade DCX-4S.
3. Run the following commands to save the configuration to a file on a secure host.
•
configShow
•
ipaddrShow
•
licenseShow
•
switchShow
Alternatively, you can save the configuration file to a Brocade USB.
Keep copies of key data such as passwords, license keys, and IP addresses in a secure location.
NOTE
Passwords are not saved in the configuration file, and are not uploaded during a configUpload.
