B configDownload Operands 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. -vf Downloads the Virtual Fabric configuration (switch-conf_xx.txt) instead of the regular system configuration. The switch-con_xx.txt file contains a listing of logical switches configured on the platform specified by the platform ID (xx) and other Virtual Fabric parameters. You cannot use the -vf option with any of the system configuration upload options (-fid, -chassis, -all). -all Downloads all configuration data, including chassis and switch configuration data. -fid FID 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: -sfid FID 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 Downloads the chassis configuration only. "host" 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. "user" Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional. "path" 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. "passwd" Specifies the login password when you use the FTP protocol. Quotation marks are optional. -local Downloads a specified configuration file from a predetermined directory on the local chassis. -USB | -U Downloads a specified configuration file from a predetermined directory on an attached USB device. 40 Dell 8/4Gbps FC SAN Module Administrator's Guide 53-1001345-01
