configDownload Downloads a switch configuration file from a host file. Synopsis configdownload [-p ftp] "host","user","file","passwd" configdownload -p scp "host","user","file" configdownload Availability admin NOTE: The switchAdmin role is not allowed to change the zoning and security configuration. Therefore, zoning and security sections in the configuration being downloaded to the switch are ignored. See "MUA-based roles" on page 777 for more information. Description Use this command to download a switch configuration file from a host file. The configuration file is ASCII text and might have been generated using configUpload, or it might have been created by a user to download specific configuration changes. See configUpload for a configuration file format description. To restore the configuration file from a Microsoft® Windows NT® system using file transfer protocol (FTP), the FTP server might have to be installed from the distribution media and enabled. The FTP service is widely available on UNIX® hosts but less so on Windows® hosts. The FTP server must be running before a download can occur. Use -p scp to securely download the file through an SSH connection. Instead of entering a password on the command line, SCP prompts you for the password, if necessary. The SSH service is available on both UNIX and Windows hosts. This command can be invoked without any operands, creating an interactive session. The download might fail for the following reasons: • The switch has not been disabled. • The host name is not known to the switch. • The host IP address cannot be contacted. • The user does not have permission on the host. • The user runs a script that prints something at login. • The file does not exist on the host. • The file is not a switch configuration file. • The FTP server is not running on the host. • The configuration data contains errors. When the switch is in secure mode, the following rules and restrictions apply: • Both defined security policies and active security policies sections must exist and contain the FCS_POLICY.
