Uploading the configuration files
See Chapter 5, ”Maintaining the switch configuration file” on page 163 for more information on the

uploaded to a management workstation (there is a section in the uploaded configuration file labeled
“FICON_CUP” that exists in an encoded format).
Downloading configuration files with Active=Saved mode enabled
