Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]: Server Name or IP Address [host]: 10.1.2.3 User Name [user]: JohnDoe File Name [config.txt]: /pub/configurations/config.txt *** 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 this 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. Do you want to continue [y/n]: y Password: xxxxx Activating configDownload: Switch is disabled configDownload complete: Only zoning parameters are downloaded to ad5. switch:AD5:admin> 8. If you disabled the switch, when the process is finished, issue the switchEnable command. NOTE: Because some configuration parameters require a reboot to take effect, after you download a configuration file you must reboot to be sure that the parameters are enabled. Before the reboot, this type of parameter is listed in the configuration file, but it is not effective until after the reboot. Security considerations Security parameters and the switch's identity cannot be changed by configDownload. Parameters such as the switch's name and IP address (lines in the configuration file that begin with boot) are ignored. Security parameters (lines in the configuration file that begin with sec), such as secure mode setting and version stamp, are ignored. For more detailed information on security, see "Configuring standard security features" on page 89. Restoring configurations in a FICON environment If the switch is operating in a FICON CUP environment, and the ASM (active=saved) bit is set on, the switch ignores the IPL file downloaded when you restore a configuration. Table 45 describes this behavior in more detail. Table 45 Backup and restore in a FICON CUP environment ASM bit Command Description on or off configUpload All the files saved in the file access facility are uploaded to the management workstation. A section in the uploaded configuration file labeled FICON_CUP is in an encoded format. Fabric OS 6.1.1 administrator guide 149
