Note To ensure a current configuration is available for uploading to a replacement switch, a routine backup of the configuration is recommended. Use the cfgSave and cfgEnable commands to save any zone configurations before the switch is powered off. The saved configuration is automatically reloaded by the switch on power up. If a configuration was enabled at the time it was saved, the same configuration is reinstalled with an automatic cfgEnable command. Saving the System Configuration Files Upload the switch configuration file for disaster recovery and keep it in a safe place where it can be easily found. Backing up the configuration after the initial configuration changes is strongly recommended. A routine backup of the configuration is also recommended to ensure the current configuration is available if needed. Backing up the Switch Configuration Settings Use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) on Windows or UNIX workstations to backup the system configuration. The FTP server must be running before an upload can occur. 1. Verify that the FTP service is running on the host workstation. 2. Log in to the switch as the admin user. 3.

Note
To ensure a current configuration is available for uploading to a
replacement switch, a routine backup of the configuration is recommended.
Use the
cfgSave
and
cfgEnable
commands to save any zone
configurations before the switch is powered off. The saved configuration is
automatically reloaded by the switch on power up. If a configuration was
enabled at the time it was saved, the same configuration is reinstalled with
an automatic
cfgEnable
command.
Saving the System Configuration Files
Upload the switch configuration file for disaster recovery and keep it in a
safe place where it can be easily found. Backing up the configuration after
the initial configuration changes is
strongly recommended
. A routine
backup of the configuration is also recommended to ensure the current
configuration is available if needed.
Backing up the Switch Configuration Settings

backup the system configuration. The FTP server must be running before
an upload can occur.
