*** CAUTION ***

This command is used to download a backed-up configuration for a specific switch. If using a file from a different switch, this file's configuration settings will override any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch, may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be required for some parameter changes to take effect.

configDownload operation may take several minutes to complete for large files.

Activating configDownload without disabling switch:

NOTE: Not all configuration parameters will be downloaded with switch online

configDownload complete: All selected config parameters are downloaded

NOTE

The configdownload command updates the switch with the correct Domain ID. However, if the original switch is dead and no configuration upload file from it exists, the one parameter you’ll want to setup properly on the replacement switch is its Domain ID. To configure a switch’s Domain ID, when the switch is a disabled state, enter the configure command. When prompted “Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no]”, type in yes and you’ll be prompted with the existing Domain ID as follows “Domain: (1..239) [7]”. At this point, enter the value of the original switch’s Domain ID.

11.Use the cfgactvshow command on both switches to ensure the effective zoning configurations match:

original_switch:admin> cfgactvshow
