A – Command Line Interface Working with Switch Configurations

S

The Config Save command saves the changes you made during the Config Edit session. In this case, changes to the configuration named Default are being saved to a new configuration named config_10132003. However, the new configuration does not take effect until you activate it with the Config Activate command as shown:

SANbox (admin-config)#> config save config_10132003

SANbox (admin)#> config activate config_10132003

SANbox (admin)#> admin end

SANbox #>

The Admin End command releases the Admin session for other administrators when you are done making changes to the switch.

Backing up and Restoring Switch Configurations

Backing up and restoring a configuration is useful to protect your work or for use as a template in configuring other switches. The Config Backup command creates a file on the switch, named configdata. This file can be used to restore a switch configuration only from the command line interface; it cannot be used to restore a switch using SANsurfer Switch Manager.

SANbox #> admin start

SANbox (admin) #> config backup

The configdata file contains all of the switch configuration information including the following:

All named switch configurations including the default configuration. This includes port, switch, port threshold alarm, and zoning configuration components.

All SNMP and network information defined with the Set Setup command.

The zoning database included all zone sets, zones, and aliases
