44 Switch Configuration
Managing switch configurations
The switch configuration determines the basic operational characteristics of the switch. A switch can store
up to 10 configurations, including the default configuration (
Default Config
). The current switch
operating characteristics are determined by the active configuration. Only one configuration can be active
at a time.
Each switch configuration contains switch, port, port threshold alarm, and zoning configuration
components.
Displaying a list of switch configurations
To display the configurations stored on the switch, enter the
config list
command, as shown in the
following example. Notice that the
config list
command does not require an Admin session.

Deleting a switch configuration
