To restore a configuration:
Verify that the FTP service is running on the server where the backup configuration file is located.
1.
2.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
3.
If there are any changed parameters in the configuration file that do not belong to SNMP, Fabric
Watch, or ACL, disable the switch by entering the switchDisable command.
4.
Enter the configDownload command.
The command becomes interactive and you are prompted for the required information.

Protocol (scp
or ftp)
Server Name
or IP Address
User name

The following example shows configDownload run on a switch without Admin Domains:
switch:admin> configdownload
Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]: ftp
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 192.1.2.3
User Name [user]: JohnDoe
File Name [config.txt]: /pub/configurations/config.txt
This command is used to download a backed-up configuration
for a specific switch. If using a file from a different
switch, this file's configuration settings will override
any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration
file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,
may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be
required for some parameter changes to take effect.
configDownload operation may take several minutes
to complete for large files.
Do you want to continue [y/n]: y
Password: xxxxx
Activating configDownload: Switch is disabled
Updated RADIUS configuration
configDownload complete: All config parameters are downloaded.
switch:admin>

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 stored; for
example, 192.1.2.3. You can enter a server name if DNS is enabled.
Enter the user name of your account on the server; for example, JohnDoe.
Specify the full path name of the backup file; for example,
/pub/configurations/config.txt
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.
