146 Maintaining the switch configuration file
4. Respond to the prompts as follows:
The following example shows configUpload run on a switch without Admin Domains:
switch:admin> configupload
Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]: ftp
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 192.1.2.3
User Name [user]: JohnDoe
File Name [config.txt]: /pub/configurations/config.txt
Password: xxxxx
configUpload complete: All config parameters are uploaded.
switch:admin>
The following example shows configUpload run on a switch with Admin Domains:
NOTE: AD domains other than AD255 upload a subset of information. If a you want a complete switch
configuration, you need to perform configupload logged into AD255.
switch:AD5:admin> ad --select 5
switch:AD5:admin> configUpload
Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]:
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 10.1.2.3
User Name [user]: JohnDoe
File Name [config.txt]: /pub/configurations/config.txt
Password: xxxxx
configUpload complete: Only zoning parameters are uploaded from ad5.
swtich:AD5:admin>
5. Store a soft copy of the switch configuration information in a safe place for future reference.
NOTE: The configuration file is printable, but you may want to see how many pages will be printed
before you send it to the printer.
Protocol (scp
or ftp)
If your site requires the use of Secure Copy, specify SCP. Otherwise, specify
FTP. If you leave it blank, the default specified in [ ] is used.
Server Name
or IP Address
Enter the name or IP address of the server where the file is to be stored; for
example, 192.1.2.3. You can enter a server name if DNS is enabled. For
details about the dnsConfig command, see the Fabric OS Command
Reference.
User name Enter the user name of your account on the server; for example, JohnDoe.
File name Specify a file name for the backup file; for example, config.txt. Absolute
path names can be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path
names create the file in the user’s home directory on UNIX servers, and in
the directory where the FTP server is running on Windows servers.
Password Enter your account password for the server. Note that this is a required field
even if you are logged in as an anonymous user; in such cases, the value
may be ignored by the FTP service.
