configDownload Diagnostics 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 MAPS parameters. You can run configDownload first without disabling the switch, and if there is at least one changed parameter outside of SNMP or MAPS, 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. Examples 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 is required for the changes to take effect. Please make sure all the switches are disabled by using chassisdisable command. Downloading configuration to an online switch may result in some configuration not being downloaded to that switch. configDownload operation may take several minutes to complete for large files.
