All of the attributes of the Virtual Fabrics configuration file will be downloaded to the system and
take effect. This includes, but is not limited to, logical switch definitions, whether Virtual Fabrics is
enabled or disabled, and the F_Port trunking ports, except the LISL ports. The LISL ports on the
system are not affected by the Virtual Fabrics configuration file download.
You can restore Virtual Fabrics configurations only to a switch of the same model and same
release. For example, a Virtual Fabrics configuration file for Fabric OS 7.2.x cannot be used on a
Fabric OS 7.1.x switch and vice versa.
