configDownload 2 -sfid FID -chassis "host" "user" "path" "passwd" -local -USB | -U "file" Specifies an alternate source switch configuration to be downloaded to the target logical switch specified by -fid. When no source FID is specified, the configuration file corresponding to the logical switch -fid FID is downloaded. When a source FID is specified, the configuration corresponding to the logical switch specified by the source FID is downloaded instead. This parameter allows you to effectively swap logical switch configurations. Note that all ports in the FID are reset to the default state when downloading data from the source FID. Downloads the chassis configuration only. Specifies the name or the IP address of the external host, from which to download the configuration. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. To be able to mention the FTP server by name, you need to set up two DNS servers with dnsConfig. Quotation marks are optional. Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional. Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. Absolute path names may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names search for the file in the login account's home directory on UNIX hosts and in the directory on which the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the file is downloaded from an external host. Quotation marks are optional. Specifies the login password when you use the FTP protocol. Quotation marks are optional. Downloads a specified configuration file from a predetermined directory on the local chassis. Downloads a specified configuration file from a predetermined directory on an attached USB device. A file name in quotation marks, for example, "config.txt". This parameter can be used only with the -local or -USB option, each of which retrieves files from a predetermined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted. Examples To download the switch configuration file interactively to the current logical switch from a local directory (no chassis permissions): switch:admin> configdownload Protocol (scp, ftp, local) [ftp]: Server Name or IP Address [host]: 192.168.163.233 User Name [user]: admin Path/Filename [/config.txt]: Section (all|chassis|FID# [all]): *** CAUTION *** This command is used to download a backed-up configuration for a specific switch. If using a file from a different switch, this file's configuration settings will override any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch, may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be required for some parameter changes to take effect.
