configUpload Do not manually edit a configuration or a vf-conf.xx 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. Operands This command has the following operands: -p ftp | -ftp or -p scp | -scp or -p sftp | -sftp Specifies the data transmission protocol as either file transfer protocol (FTP), secure copy protocol (SCP), or secure FTP (SFTP). If no protocol is specified, the protocol defaults to FTP. -cra Enables Challenge Response Authentication (CRA). CRA is supported only with the SCP protocol. -vf Uploads the Virtual fabric configuration to a file. You must specify a filename when uploading this file. It is recommended to name this file vf-conf_xx.txt (where xx indicates the platform ID) to distinguish this file from the system configuration (config.txt). Use switchShow to determine the platform ID of the system. The platform ID in the header of the configuration file is the same as the first two digits of the switchType parameter in the switchShow output. You cannot use the -vf option with any of the regular configuration upload options (-fid, -chassis, -all). -fid FID Uploads switch configuration data from a logical switch specified by its fabric ID. This parameter is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis permissions. -chassis Uploads chassis configuration only. -all Uploads all system configuration data including chassis and switch configuration for all logical switches. -switch Uploads the switch configuration only. This operand is not valid in VF mode. -map Uploads the port-to-area addressing mode configuration files. "host" Specifies the name or the IP address of the external host to which to upload the configuration. To be able to mention the FTP server by name, you need to set up one or more DNS servers with dnsConfig. Quotation marks are optional. "user" Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional. 142 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1004112-02
