Description This command uploads configuration data to a file. Two types of configuration files can be
uploaded with this command: Virtual Fabric configuration parameters and system configuration
parameters.
Use the -vf option to upload Virtual Fabric configuration parameters. The Virtual Fabric
configuration includes logical switch definitions, Virtual Fabric status (enabled or disabled), and
the internal port (F_Port) trunking ports. The file should be named switch-conf_xx.txt to distinguish
it from the regular system configuration (config.txt). The xx indicates the platform ID. The platform
ID is the same as the first two digits of the "switchType" parameter displayed by switchShow. Virtual
Fabric configuration data can only be shared between switches that belong to the same platform
type and share the same platform ID. Refer to configDownload for more information on the Virtual
Fabric configuration.
The system configuration data is uploaded separately. It is grouped into chassis information and
switch information. Each configuration type is managed separately and the behavior of
configUpload depends on the environment in which the command is executed and which part of
the system configuration you wish to upload.

In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without chassis permissions, this command
uploads the current logical switch configuration only. An Admin user with chassis permissions
can use additional parameters to perform the following selective configuration uploads:
-
Upload the switch configuration of a specified logical switch (-fid FID).
-
Upload the chassis configuration only (-chassis).
-
Upload the entire system configuration including the data for all logical switches and for
the chassis (-all).
The interactive version of the command (no operands) prompts for input on only the
parameters the user is allowed to execute.
