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 and Virtual Fabric status (enabled or disabled). 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. Virtual Fabric configuration data can only be shared between switches
that belong to the same platform type and share the same platform ID. If the platform ID contained in the
header of the configuration file does not match the platform ID of the system to which it is downloaded,
configDownload fails. When you download a switch-conf_xx.txt file, all attributes defined in this file are
downloaded to the system and take effect with the exception of LISL ports. The LISL ports on the system
are not affected by this download.
