configDownload 2 "host" A host name or IP address in quotation marks: for example, "citadel" or "192.168.1.48". The configuration file is downloaded from this host. To be able to mention the FTP server by name, you need to setup two DNS servers with dnsConfig. "user" A user name, in quotation marks: for example, "jdoe". This user name is used to gain access to the host system. "path" A file name and path in quotation marks: for example, "config.txt". Absolute path names may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names search for the file in the user's home directory on UNIX hosts and in the directory on which the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. "passwd" Password for login when using the FTP protocol. -local Download from a predetermined directory on the local chassis. -USB | -U Download from a predetermined directory on an attached USB device. "file" 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. When invoked without operands or without "host" or "file" parameters, configDownload will run in interactive mode, prompting the user for input. Note that "host" is not required when -local or -USB is specified. NOTE Once a configuration file has been uploaded to an external system, it must NOT be manually edited before being downloaded, either to the same or another switch. Such an operation will bypass sanity checks for some configuration datapoints, resulting in unpredictable behavior. Examples To download a configuration file interactively from a local chassis that has been disabled prior to downloading the configuration file: switch:admin> switchdisable switch:admin> configdownload Protocol (scp, ftp, local, or usb) [ftp]: local File Name [config.txt]: config.txt *** 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. configDownload operation may take several minutes to complete for large files.
