Creating a configuration backup file

Keep a backup copy of the configuration file in case the configuration is lost or unintentional changes are made. You

should keep individual backup files for all switches in the fabric. You should avoid copying configurations from one

switch to another.

If you upload from a network, enter the host name or IP address in the Host Name or IP field, the user ID and

password required for access to the host in the User Name and Password fields, and select the Protocol Type used

for the upload. The default is FTP. If you select "Secure Copy Protocol (SCP)" or "Secure File Transfer Protocol

(SFTP)", you cannot specify "anonymous" in the User Name field.

An info link is enabled when USB is chosen as the source of the configuration file. If you click on info , an

information message displays as shown in the following figure.

3. Select the Configure tab.

4. Select the Upload/Download tab.

By default, Config Upload is chosen under Function, and Network is chosen as the source of the

configuration file.

5. Enter the configuration file with a fully-qualified path, or select the configuration file name in the

Configuration File Name field.

The default path for Windows is Folder Name\FileName.txt or FileName.txt.

The default path for Linux is Directory Name\FileName.txt or FileName.txt.

If you select USB as the configuration file source, the network parameters are not needed and are not

displayed. You can skip to step 6.

6. Use the Fabric ID selector to select the fabric ID of the logical switch from which the configuration file is to

uploaded.

The selector displays all the Virtual Fabric IDs that have been defined, the default of 128 for the physical

switch, chassis level configuration, and all chassis and switches.
