Backing Up The Configuration; Configuring The Fibre Channel Ports - Dell PowerEdge 1855 Quick Start Manual

Backing Up the Configuration

Back up the switch configuration to an FTP server by typing the configUpload command and following the prompts.
This command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement
switch if necessary. Brocade recommends backing up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete
configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch.
For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The
switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric OS Command Reference
Manual.
Note
The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that
it is correctly oriented.
Connecting to the Switch Using Web Tools
To connect to the switch using Brocade's Web Tools:
1. On the management console, open a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer.
The Web browser must be connected to the same network as the switch.
2. Enter the IP address of the switch in the address field.

Configuring the Fibre Channel Ports

The DRAC/MC provides the control point for the chassis. Each DRAC/MC has a serial connection to each switch chassis
I/O bay. These connections are used for configuring and monitoring the installed switches.
