Configuring the SAN Integrated Switch
3–15
Downloading a Configuration
Use these steps to download a configuration.
1. From the workstation, establish a Telnet connection to the switch element, and log on
with administrative privileges.
2. Enter the
switchDisable
command to disable the switch element.
3. Enter the
configDownload
command to download the configuration from the server.
To use RSHD on Windows NT, Windows 9x, or Windows 2000, two utilities are supplied,
RSHD.EXE and CAT.EXE, with instruction on how to install and run them. The FTP server
or RSHD must be running before a download can occur.
The command may be invoked without any parameters, in which case the user is prompted
for input, including choice of FTP or RSHD. If invoked with three parameters, RSHD is
used, otherwise presence of the fourth parameter (FTP password) selects FTP.
Figure 3–5 shows an example of the
configDownload
command.
