Configuration management for Virtual Fabrics
8
Do not download a configuration file from one switch to another switch that is a different model or
runs a different firmware version, because it can cause the switch to fail. If you need to reset
affected switches, issue the configDefault command after download is completed but before the
switch is enabled. If a switch is enabled with a duplicate domain ID, the switch becomes
segmented.
Downloading a configuration file from one switch to another same
model switch
1. Configure one switch.
2. Use the configUpload command to save the configuration information. Refer to “Configuration
file backup” on page 180 for more information.
3. Run configDefault on each of the target switches, and then use the configDownload command
to download the configuration file to each of the target switches. Refer to “Configuration file
restoration” on page 181 for more information.
Security considerations
Security parameters and the switch identity cannot be changed by the configDownload command.
Parameters such as the switch name and IP address (lines in the configuration file that begin with
“boot”) are ignored. Security parameters (lines in the configuration file that begin with “sec”), such
as secure mode setting and version stamp, are ignored.
For more detailed information on security, refer to Chapter 6, “Configuring Protocols” .
Configuration management for Virtual Fabrics
You can use the configUpload -vf or configDownload -vf command to restore configurations to a
logical switch. The -vf option only restores the Virtual Fabrics configuration information on to a
switch of the same model.
The Virtual Fabrics configuration on the switch defines all of the logical switches allowed and
configured for a particular platform.
Uploading a configuration file from a switch with Virtual Fabrics
enabled
The configUpload command with the -vf option specifies that configuration upload will upload the
Virtual Fabrics configuration instead of the non-Virtual Fabrics configuration information.
You must specify a filename with the configUpload -vf command. It is recommended not to use
config.txt for a filename as this can easily be confused with a normal uploaded configuration file.
Example of configUpload on a switch with Virtual Fabrics
