Admin Domain configuration maintenance
When you log in to the switch as a physical fabric administrator and back up a configuration, all local
switch configuration parameters are saved, as well as all Admin Domain membership information and
Admin Domain zone databases.
To perform a configuration upload or download, you should have the Admin Domain of AD255 or AD0, if
no other user-defined Admin Domains exist. A configuration upload or download gathers all the
configuration files for the fabric, including Admin Domains. For more information on Admin Domains,
refer to Requirements for Admin Domains on page 85.
When the configuration is backed up, one of the following scenarios is possible:
• If the current Admin Domain does not own the switch and you are logged in with any role that allows
configuration upload or download, the following items are saved in the configuration file:
‐ Local zone configuration
‐ No other configuration information
• If the current Admin Domain owns the switch and you are logged in with any role that allows
configuration upload or download, the following items are saved in the configuration file:
‐ Local zone configuration
‐ All other configuration information except Admin Domain configuration information
• If you invoke Admin Domain from AD255 and you are logged in with any role that allows
configuration upload or download, the following items are saved in the configuration file:
‐ Configuration information for zones in all Admin Domains
‐ All other configuration information, including zoning from all Admin Domains
The filtering depends on the Admin Domain switch ownership, with additional access if you are in
AD255. Access to the command itself is limited by Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and not by
whether the current user is a Physical Fabric Administrator or an admin user with enumerated access to
the relevant domains.
The ability to change Admin Domain context requires installing the EGM license. Refer to Changing the
Admin Domain context on page 41 for complete instructions.
The EGM license is required only for 8 Gbps platforms, such as the:
• Brocade Encryption Switch
• Brocade 300, 5300, and 5100 switches
