Configuration file restoration 8
In case something happens to your switch and you need to set it up again, run the commands listed
in Table 42 and save the output in a file format. Store the files in a safe place for emergency
reference.
-all The number of switches or FIDs defined in the downloaded configuration file
must match the number of switches or FIDs currently defined on the switch.
The switches must be disabled, if necessary (refer to “Configuration download
without disabling a switch” on page 182 for more information on non-disruptive
configuration downloads). If they are not, the configDownload command
downloads the configuration for as many switches as possible until a
non-disabled switch is encountered. Then it will stop. Before running this
command, verify if any switches need to be disabled. If you are performing a
configDownload due to a configuration error, it is highly recommended to
perform a configDefault before running the configDownload command.
In Virtual Fabric-enabled mode, the chassisDisable and chassisEnable
commands are used to disable all logical switches on the affected switch. This
bypasses the need to disable and enable each switch individually once the
configuration download has completed.
Non-Virtual Fabric configuration files downloaded to a Virtual Fabric system will
only have configuration applied to the default switch. If there are multiple logical
switches created in a Virtual Fabric-enabled system, there could be some issues
if there are ports that belong to the default switch in a Virtual Fabric-disabled
system, but are now assigned to logical switches in a Virtual Fabric-enabled
system. Only configurations related to ports within the default switch will be
applied.
