See ”Using the FC-FC routing service” on page 311 for additional information about LSAN zones.
Configuration upload and download in an AD context
The behavior of configUpload and configDownload 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 50 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 issue configDownload to restore them.
See ”Maintaining the switch configuration file” on page 145 for additional information.
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 ”Maintaining the switch configuration file” on page 145 for additional information about uploading
and downloading configurations.
