212 Managing administrative domains
Configuration upload and download in an AD context
The behavior of the configUpload and configDownload commands varies depending on the AD
context and whether the switch is a member of the current Admin Domain. In the AD context, these
commands include only the zone configuration of the current Admin Domain. If the switch is a member of
the Admin Domain, all switch configuration parameters are saved and the zone database for that Admin
Domain is also saved.
Table 54 lists the sections in the configuration file and the Admin Domain contexts in which you can
upload and download these sections.
NOTE: You cannot use configDownload to restore a single Admin Domain. To restore a single Admin
Domain, you must first delete all Admin Domains and then enter configDownload to restore them.
The configDefault command does not clear zone or Admin Domain database information. This
command is allowed only if the switch is a member of the current Admin Domain.
See Chapter 5, ”Maintaining the switch configuration file” on page 163 for additional information about
uploading and downloading configurations.
