Archiving a Switch
You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters.
Basically any data received by QuickTools is archived. This archive file can be
used to restore the configuration on the same switch or on a replacement switch.
You can also use the archive file as a template for configuring new switches to
add to a fabric. Passwords are not archived. Security Group secrets are not
included in the archive and must be re-configured using the CLI after a restore.
Archived parameters include the following:
Switch properties and statistics
IP configuration
SNMP configuration
Port properties and statistics
Name server
Date/Time and NTP settings
Alarm configuration
Zoning configuration
Nicknames configuration
Call Home parameters
User account information (but not restored)
To archive a switch, do the following:
1. Open the Switch menu and select Archive.
2. In the Save dialog, enter a file name.
3. Click the Save button.
