Using Baseline Configurations for Configuration Management 11 Downloading a Configuration You can download a configuration to a switch from a baseline file or from another switch. During the download process, you can choose the settings that you want to download and the settings that you want to omit. See "Saving a Baseline Configuration to a File" on page 11-14 for instructions on saving a baseline configuration file. The configuration download succeeds only if all of the configuration parameters are successfully downloaded. If some of the configuration parameters are not accepted by the switch, then the entire configuration download fails and Fabric Manager displays a message indicating which parameters caused the failure. • "Downloading to Switches from a Baseline File" on page 11-19 • "Downloading to Switches from a Baseline Switch" on page 11-20 Downloading to Switches from a Baseline File The following procedure describes how to download a configuration from a baseline file to one or more switches.

download process, you can choose the settings that you want to download and the settings that you want
to omit. See

for instructions on saving a
baseline configuration file.
The configuration download succeeds only if all of the configuration parameters are successfully
downloaded. If some of the configuration parameters are not accepted by the switch, then the entire
configuration download fails and Fabric Manager displays a message indicating which parameters
caused the failure.
