-vf
Downloads the Virtual Fabric configuration (switch-conf_xx.txt) instead of the
regular system configuration. The switch-con_xx.txt file contains a listing of logical
switches configured on the platform specified by the platform ID (xx) and other
Virtual Fabric parameters. You cannot use the -vf option with any of the system
configuration upload options (-fid, -chassis, -all).
-all
Downloads all configuration data, including chassis and switch configuration data.
-fid FID
Downloads the switch configuration to a logical switch specified by its fabric ID.
This operand is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis
permissions.
-chassis
Downloads the chassis configuration only.
-switch
Downloads the switch configuration only. This operand is valid only in non-VF
mode.
"host"
Specifies the name or the IP address of the external host, from which to download
the configuration. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. To be able to mention
the FTP server by name, you need to set up two DNS servers with dnsConfig.
Quotation marks are optional.
"user"
Specifies the login name for the external host. Quotation marks are optional.
"path"
Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. Absolute path names
may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names search for the file
in the login account's home directory on UNIX hosts and in the directory on which
the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the
file is downloaded from an external host. Quotation marks are optional.
"passwd"
Specifies the account password. Quotation marks are optional.
-local
Downloads a specified configuration file from a predetermined directory on the
local chassis.
-USB | -U
Downloads a specified configuration file from a predetermined directory on an
attached USB device.
"file"
Specifies the name of the configuration file to be downloaded. This parameter can
be used only with the -local or -USB option, each of which retrieves files from a
predetermined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device.
Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted. Quotation
marks are optional.
-force
Overwrites an existing file without confirmation. This parameter is valid only with
the -local or -USB options.
