Backing up the configuration

About this task
It is recommended that the configuration be backed up on a regular basis to ensure that a complete
configuration is available for downloading to a replacement chassis.
Observe the following notes about configuration data:
v Passwords are not saved in the configuration file, and are not uploaded during a configuration upload.
v Besides saving configuration files to an FTP server or local file system, you can save to a USB device
by using the usbstorage command.
Procedure
1. Log into the device using one of the following methods:
v A serial console connection to the active CP blade. The active CP is indicated by an illuminated
blue LED on the blade front panel.
v A Telnet session using the chassis management IP address.
2. Log into the device using admin as your password. If you have not changed the default password, use
password.
3. Back up the device configuration using the configUpload command. Follow the prompts to upload the
configuration to an external host using the file transfer protocol (FTP), secure copy protocol (SCP), or
secure FTP (SFTP), or save the configuration to the local file system on device or attached USB device.
