Perform this procedure during a planned down time. Make sure that the configuration file you are downloading is compatible with your switch model; configuration files from other model switches might cause your switch to fail. You must have a user ID on the FTP server where the backup file is stored. Use the following procedure: 1. Verify that the FTP service is running on the server where the backup configuration file is located. 2. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 3. Disable the switch by issuing the switchDisable command. 4. Issue the configDownload command. The command becomes interactive and you are prompted for the required information. 5.
