Creating the Backup File
The
Config
Backup command creates a file on the switch, named
configdata
. This
file can be used to restore a switch configuration only from the command line
interface; it cannot be used to restore a switch using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007.
SANbox #> config backup
The
configdata
file contains the following switch configuration information:
All named switch configurations including port, switch, port threshold alarm
and zoning configurations.
All SNMP and network information defined with the Set Setup command.
The zoning database includes all zone sets, zones, and aliases.
The security database except the group primary and secondary secrets.
The Call Home database and Call Home service configuration.
Downloading the Configuration File
You use FTP to download the
configdata
file to your workstation for safe keeping
and to upload the file back to the switch for the restore function. To download the
configdata file, open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account
name
images
and password
images
. Transfer the file in binary mode with the Get
command as shown in the following example:
>ftp
ip_address
user:images
password: images
ftp>bin
ftp>get configdata
xxxxx bytes sent in xx secs.
ftp>quit
You should rename the
configdata
file on your workstation with the switch name
and date, for example,
config_switch_169_10112003
.
NOTE:
Configuration backup files are deleted from the switch during a power cycle
or switch reset.
