2 configDownload -fid FID -sfid FID -chassis "host" "user" "path" "passwd" -local -USB | -U "file" 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: 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. Downloads the chassis configuration only. Specifies the name or the IP address of the external host, from which to download the configuration. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.

A file name in quotation marks, for example, "config.txt". This parameter can be used only with the -local or -USB option, each of which retrieves files from a predetermined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted. 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, 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.
