Backing up and restoring a switch configuration

Successful management of switches and fabrics depends on the effective use of switch configurations. Backing up and restoring a switch configuration is useful both to protect your work and to use the configuration as a template. Backing up and restoring the switch configuration involves the following tasks: • Creating the backup • Downloading the configuration • Restoring the configuration

Creating the backup file

The config backup command creates the configdata file on the switch. This file can be used to restore a switch configuration only from the CLI; it cannot be used with QuickTools or Enterprise Fabric Management Suite to restore a switch. SN6000 FC Switch #> config backup The configdata file contains the following switch configuration information: • All named switch configurations including port, switch, port threshold alarm and zoning configurations. • All SNMP and network information defined with the set setup command. • The zoning database includes all zone sets, zones, and aliases. • The security database, except the group primary and secondary secrets. • The Call Home database and Call Home service configuration. NOTE: Configuration backup files are deleted from the switch during a power-cycle or a switch reset.

Downloading the configuration file

Use FTP to download the configdata file to your workstation for safekeeping and to upload the file back to the switch for the restore function. To download the configdata file, open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name images and password images. Transfer the file in binary mode with the get command, as shown in the following example: >ftp ip_address user:images password: images ftp>bin ftp>get configdata xxxxx bytes sent in xx secs. ftp>quit You should rename the configdata file on your workstation with the switch name and date, for example, config_switch_169_10112003.

Restoring the configuration file

The restore operation begins by using FTP to upload the configuration file from the workstation to the switch, then finishes with a Telnet session and the config restore command. To upload the configuration file, config_switch_169_10112003 in this case, open an FTP session with account name images and password images. Transfer the file in binary mode with the put command, as shown in the following example: ftp ip_address user: images password: images ftp> bin ftp> put config_switch_169_10112003 configdata Local file config_switch_169_10112003 Remote file configdata ftp>quit 46 Switch Configuration file, page 46 file, page 46 file, page 46 Table of Contents Previous Page Next Page
