Note: Enter commands in lowercase only; mixed case is for readability.
Operands This command has the following operands:
-p ftp or -p scp Specifies the use of the FTP or SCP protocol. If a protocol is not specified, FTP is
the default.
"host" Specifies a host name or IP address in quotation marks: for example, “citadel” or
“192.168.1.48”. The configuration file is downloaded from this host.
"user" Specifies the user name, in quotation marks: for example, “jdoe”. This user name
is used to gain access to the host system.
"file" Specifies the file name, in quotation marks: for example, “config.txt”. Absolute
path names may be specified using a forward slash (
/). Relative path names search
for the file in the user’s home directory on UNIX hosts and in the directory on
which the FTP server is running on Windows hosts.
"passwd" Specifies the password for the FTP login.
Examples To download a configuration file interactively, on an AD-aware switch running Fabric OS v5.2.0:
switch:admin> configdownload
Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]: ftp
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 192.168.1.48
User Name [user]: jdoe
File Name [config.txt]: config.txt
*** CAUTION ***
This command is used to download a backed-up configuration
for a specific switch. If using a file from a different
switch, this file's configuration settings will override
any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration
file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,
may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be
required for some parameter changes to take effect.
configDownload operation may take several minutes
to complete for large files.
