Downloading Configuration Files to the Switch
You can configure a switch in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family by using configuration files you create or
download from another switch. In addition, you can store configuration files on a bootflash device on
the supervisor module and you can configure the switch using a configuration stored on an external
CompactFlash disk.
Before you begin downloading a configuration file using a remote server, do the following:

Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide

Ensure the configuration file to be downloaded is in the correct directory on the remote server.
Ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be set to
world-read.
Ensure the switch has a route to the remote server. The switch and the remote server must be in the
same subnetwork if you do not have a router or default gateway to route traffic between subnets.
Check connectivity to the remote server using the ping command.
