Restoring A Configuration; Configuration Download Without Disabling A Switch; Cli Commands To Display Or Modify Switch Configuration Information - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

Restoring a configuration

Restoring a configuration involves overwriting the configuration on the switch by downloading a previously
saved backup configuration file.
WARNING! Make sure that the configuration file you are downloading is compatible with your switch
model, because configuration files from other model switches might cause your switch to fail.
If your setup supports anonymous users and you log in as an anonymous user, password is still a required
field, even though its value may be ignored by the FTP service.
If a configupload command is issued on a non-FCR platform, such as the configuration file from an 400
MP Router, FCR-like parameters may be viewed in the uploaded data. This is harmless to the switch and
can be ignored.
If something happens to your switch and you need to reset it, run the commands listed in
save the output in a file format. Store the files in a safe place for emergency reference.

The configuration download process is additive, that is, the lines read from the files are added to the
current switch configuration. You can change a single configuration variable by downloading a file with
that specific variable only. When you do so, all other variables remain unchanged.
WARNING! The switch has no error checking and edited files may become corrupted and can lead to
switch failures.

Configuration download without disabling a switch

You can download configuration files to a switch while the switch is enabled, that is, you do not need to
disable the switch for changes in SNMP, Fabric Watch, and ACL parameters. When you use the
configDownload command, you will be prompted to disable the switch only when necessary. However,
if there is any changed parameter that does not belong to SNMP, Fabric Watch, or ACL, you must disable
the switch.
