Description This command downloads configuration parameters to the local system. Two types of configuration
files can be downloaded with this command: Virtual Fabric configuration parameters and system
configuration parameters. You must download both types of configuration data for the system to
behave as expected. You can use FTP or SCP to download configuration files from a remote host, or
you can retrieve the configuration files from a predetermined directory on the local system, or from
an attached USB device.
Use the -vf option to download the Virtual Fabric configuration parameters. The Virtual Fabric
configuration file includes logical switch definitions for a specific platform, the platform ID, Virtual
Fabric status (enabled or disabled), and 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
