Synopsis configdownload configdownload [- all ] [-p ftp | -ftp ] ["host","user","path" [,"passwd"]] configdownload [- all ] [-p scp| -scp ] ["host","user","path"] configdownload [- all ] [-local | -USB | -U ["file"]] configdownload [ -fid -FID [-sfid FID ] | -chassis |- all ] [-p ftp | -ftp ] ["host","user","path" [,"passwd"]] configdownload [ -fid -FID [-sfid FID ] | -chassis |- all ] [-p scp| -scp ] ["host","user","path"] configdownload [ -fid -FID [-sfid FID ] | -chassis |- all ] [-local | -USB | -U ["file"]] Description This command downloads configuration parameters to the local system. You can use FTP or SCP to download the configuration file from a remote host, or you can retrieve the configuration file from a predetermined directory on the local system, or from an attached USB device. Beginning with Fabric OS v6.2.0, configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch information. Each configuration type is managed separately. For information on file format and specific parameters contained in each section, refer to the configUpload help page. The behavior of configDownload depends on the environment in which the command is executed. • In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without chassis permissions, this command downloads the switch configuration to the current logical switch only. An Admin user with chassis permissions can use additional parameters to perform the following selective configuration downloads: - Download the switch configuration to a specified logical switch (-fid FID). - Download the switch configuration from a specified logical switch source (-sfid FID) to a specified logical switch target (-fid FID). - Download the chassis configuration only (-chassis). - Download the entire configuration including the data for all logical switches and for the chassis (-all). The interactive version of the command (no operands) prompts for input on only the parameters the user is allowed to execute. • In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, this command by default downloads the switch configuration. Additional options support downloading the chassis configuration (-chassis) or all of the system's configuration data, including chassis and switch configurations (-all). Chassis permissions are required. The -fid, and -sfid options are not valid. Configuration management supports download of v6.1 or v6.2+ configuration files to a switch running v6.2 firmware, but a v6.2 configuration file is not accepted by a switch running pre-v6.2 firmware. A v6.1 configuration downloaded to a 6.2 system is applied only to the default switch or chassis. For more information on compatibility refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The switch must be disabled for configuration download of all parameters with the exception of SNMP and Fabric Watch. The following rules apply to configuration download in Virtual Fabric mode: 90 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001186-01
