Store a soft copy of the switch configuration information in a safe place for future reference.
NOTE:
The configuration file is printable, but you may want to see how many pages will be printed
before you send it to the printer.
Troubleshooting configuration upload
If the configuration upload fails, it may be because of one or more of the following reasons:
•
The host name is not known to the switch.
•
The host IP address cannot be contacted.
•
You do not have configuration upload permission on the switch.
•
You do not have permission on the host to perform configuration upload.
Resolve the issue and try the command again.
136 Maintaining configurations
If your site requires the use of Secure Copy, specify scp. Otherwise, specify
FTP.
Enter the name or IP address of the server where the file is to be stored; for
example, 192.1.2.3. You can enter a server name if DNS is enabled. For
details about the dnsConfig command, see the Fabric OS Command
Reference.
Enter the user name of your account on the server; for example, JohnDoe.
Specify a file name for the backup file; for example, config.txt. Absolute
path names can be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path
names create the file in the user's home directory on UNIX servers, and in
the directory where the FTP server is running on Windows servers.
Enter your account password for the server. Note that this is a required field
even if you are logged in as an anonymous user; in such cases, the value
may be ignored by the FTP service.
