Restoring Fibre Channel switch module configuration
This section describes switch module configuration restoration tasks that are performed using the Telnet CLI interface and the management module.
Configuration backup
Changes made to the switch module since it was manufactured can be saved to a file in nonvolatile memory. However, the backup file is lost if the switch module is reset. Use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) user images procedures to save the configdata file to the network management workstation. (In FTP, no directory listing is available. The configuration backup file is always named configdata.) For information about SNMP configuration, see “SNMP configuration” on page 125 and “SNMP trap configuration.”
Configuration restore
Switch module configurations can be duplicated to easily propagate an identical configuration to other switch modules. Use the FTP User Images procedures with the Put command to send the previously saved (using config backup) configdata file to the switch module. In Telnet, use the Config Restore command to return the switch module configuration to the previously saved configuration. The switch module is automatically reset after a successful restore.
Restoring the factory default configuration
You can restore the switch module and port configuration settings to the factory default values. To restore the factory configuration on a switch module, click Switch / Restore Factory Defaults. Table 36 lists the factory default switch module configuration settings. Restoring the switch module to the factory default configuration does not restore the login name and password settings.
