Backing Up the Configuration

Back up the switch configuration to an FTP server by typing the configUpload command and following the prompts.

This command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement switch if necessary. Brocade recommends backing up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch.

For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. The switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

Note

The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.

Connecting to the Switch Using Web Tools

To connect to the switch using Brocade’s Web Tools:

1.On the management console, open a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer. The Web browser must be connected to the same network as the switch.

2.Enter the IP address of the switch in the address field.
