Maintaining Configurations

It is important to maintain consistent configuration settings on all switches in the same fabric, because

inconsistent parameters (such as inconsistent PID formats) can cause fabric segmentation. As part of

standard configuration maintenance procedures, it is recommended that you back up configuration data

for every switch on a host computer server for emergency reference.

This section contains procedures for basic switch configuration maintenance. Use the Configure tab

and Upload/Download subtab of the Switch Admin module to perform these tasks. (See Figure 5-1.)
