Maintaining Configurations and Firmware

In this chapter

Creating a configuration backup file

Keep a backup copy of the configuration file in case the configuration is lost or unintentional
changes are made. You should keep individual backup files for all switches in the fabric. You should
avoid copying configurations from one switch to another.
If you upload from a network, enter the host name or IP address in the Host Name or IP field, the
user ID and password required for access to the host in the User Name and Password fields, and
select the Protocol Type used for the upload. The default is FTP. If you select "Secure Copy Protocol
(SCP)," you cannot specify "anonymous" in the User Name field.
If you select USB as the configuration file source, the network parameters are not needed and are
not displayed
