Archiving a Switch

You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters. Archived parameters include the following:

„Switch properties and statistics

„IP configuration

„SNMP configuration

„Port properties and statistics

„Alarm configuration

„Zoning configuration

This archive file can be used to restore the configuration on the same switch or on a replacement switch. You can also use the archive file as a template for configuring new switches to add to a fabric. Security settings and user account information are not archived. The archive can be used later to restore the switch. Refer to ”Restoring a Switch” on page 4-24for more information.

To archive a switch, do the following:

1.Open the Switch menu and select Archive.

2.In the Save dialog, enter a file name.

3.Choose the Save button.
