configUpload
"path"
Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. When used with the -map option,
this parameter specifies a folder that contains all port-to-area mapping files. Absolute path
names may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names upload the file to the
login account's home directory on UNIX hosts and into the directory on which the FTP
server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the file is uploaded to
an external host. Quotation marks are optional.
"passwd"
Specifies the account password. Quotation marks are optional.
-local
Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on the local chassis. This
option requires a file name.
-USB | -U
Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on an attached USB
device. This option requires a file name.
"file"
Specifies the file name. Quotation marks are optional. This parameter is valid only with the
-local or -USB options, each of which stores files in a predetermined directory on the local
chassis or on an attached USB device. Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names
are not permitted.
-force
Overwrites an existing file without confirmation. This parameter is valid only with the -local
or -USB options.
When invoked without operands or without "host" or "file" parameters, configUpload runs in interactive mode.
Diagnostics The configuration upload may fail for one or more of the following reasons:
• The host name is not known to the switch.
• The host IP address cannot be contacted.
• The user does not have permission on the host.
• The FTP server is not running on the host.
