2 configDownload Notes Operands If the configuration file contains the keyword "enable:" followed by a zone_configuration, that zoning configuration is enabled in the fabric. If there is no "enable:" keyword in the configuration file or no zoning configuration by that name exists, or if enable fails for any reason (such as dangling aliases), then the following conditions apply: • The effective configuration remains as it was prior to the configuration download. The "enable:" action is ignored. • The Defined Configuration changes to reflect the new zoning configuration. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Do not manually edit a configuration file after uploading the file and before downloading the file to a switch. Manual editing bypasses sanity checks for some configuration parameters and results in unpredictable system behavior. This command has the following operands: -p ftp | -ftp or -p scp | -scp Specifies the data transmission protocol as either File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Secure Copy Protocol (SCP). If no protocol is specified, the protocol defaults to FTP. -all -fid FID -sfid FID Downloads all configuration data, including chassis and switch configuration data. Downloads the switch configuration to a logical switch specified by its fabric ID. This operand is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis permissions. The following optional parameter is supported with the -fid operand: 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. -chassis "host" "user" "path" 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. 92 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001186-01
