2 configDownload DIAGNOSTICS EXAMPLES The configuration download may fail for one or more of the following reasons: • The switch has not been disabled. Disabling the switch is not necessary for configuration files containing only certain SNMP or Fabric Watch parameters. You can run configDownload first without disabling the switch, and if there is at least one changed parameter outside of Fabric Watch or SNMP, you are prompted to disable the switch before proceeding. • The host name is not known to the switch. • The host IP address cannot be contacted. • You do not have permission on the host. • You are running a script that prints something at login. • The file does not exist on the host. • The file is not a switch configuration file. • The FTP server is not running on the host. • The configuration file contains errors. • The configuration file's logical switch definitions do not match the definitions on the target switch. • Admin Domains are configured on the switch, and you attempt to download a Virtual Fabrics configuration file. 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, sftp, 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 the 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.
