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 4-26for 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.
