Backing up a switch configuration
Backing up and restoring a configuration is useful to protect your work or for use as a template
in configuring other switches. The
Config Backup
command creates a file on the switch,
named
configdata
. This file can be used to restore a switch configuration only from the
command line interface; it cannot be used to restore a switch using Switch Manager.
2/8q FC Switch
#> admin start
2/8q FC Switch (admin) #> config backup
The
configdata
file contains all of the switch configuration information including the
following:
■
All named switch configurations including the default configuration. This includes port,
switch, port threshold alarm, and zoning configuration components.
■
All SNMP and network information defined with the
Set Setup
command.
■
The zoning database included all zone sets, zones, and aliases.
Use FTP to download the
configdata
file to your workstation for safe keeping and to
upload the file back to the switch for the restore function. To download the
configdata
file,
open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name
images
and password
images
. Transfer the file in binary mode using the
Get
command as shown:
>ftp
ip_address
user:images
password: images
ftp>bin
ftp>get configdata
xxxxx bytes sent in xx secs.
ftp>quit
You should rename the
configdata
file on your workstation with the switch name and date,
config_switch_169_10112003
, for example.
