Creating a configuration backup file
Keep a backup copy of the configuration file in case the configuration is lost or unintentional
changes are made. You should keep individual backup files for all switches in the fabric. You
should avoid copying configurations from one switch to another.
If you upload from a network, enter the host name or IP address in the Host Name or IP field, the
user ID and password required for access to the host in the User Name and Password fields, and
select the Protocol Type used for the upload. The default is FTP. If you select “Secure Copy Protocol
(SCP),” you cannot specify “anonymous” in the User Name field.
An info
link is enabled when USB is chosen as the source of the configuration file. If you click on
info
, the following information message displays (Figure 11).
