Restoring a configuration

Restoring a configuration involves overwriting the configuration on the switch by downloading a previously
saved backup configuration file. Make sure that the configuration file you are downloading is compatible
with your switch model, because configuration files from other model switches might cause your switch to
fail.
The configuration download process is additive, that is, the lines read from the files are added to the
current switch configuration. You can change a single configuration variable by downloading a file with
that specific variable only. When you do so, all other variables remain unchanged.
If your setup supports anonymous users, and you log in as an anonymous user, password is still a
required field, even though its value may be ignored by the FTP service.
If a configupload command is issued on a non-FCR platform, FCR-like parameters may be viewed in the
uploaded data. This is harmless to the switch and can be ignored.

Configuration download without disabling a switch

Starting in Fabric OS 5.2.0, you can download configuration files to a switch while the switch is enabled,
that is, you do not need to disable the switch for changes in SNMP, Fabric Watch, and ACL parameters.
When you use the configDownload command, you will be prompted to disable the switch only when
necessary. However, if there is any changed parameter that does not belong to SNMP, Fabric Watch, or
ACL, then you must disable the switch.
Configuration download without disabling a switch is independent of the hardware platform and
supported on all hardware platforms running Fabric OS 5.2.0 and later.
You may attempt to download a configuration file first without disabling the switch. If there is at least one
changed parameter outside of SNMP, Fabric Watch, and ACL, you will be prompted to disable the switch
before proceeding.
