Step 7 Enter the user name and password you use to access the switch or server.
Step 8 Click Apply.
Saving Startup Configurations in the Fabric
You can use Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) to instruct the other switches in the fabric to save their
configurations to their local NVRAM. You can copy the running configuration to the startup
configuration across the entire fabric by using the fabricStartupConfig option. This triggers every switch
in the fabric to copy its running configuration to its startup configuration.
Note If any switch fails during this fabric-wide copy, that switch and the switch that you used to initiate this
process will keep the existing startup configuration. This does not affect the other switches in the fabric.
Backing Up the Current Configuration
Before installing or migrating to any software configuration, back up the startup configuration. To back
up the startup configuration using Device Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select Admin > Copy Configuration.
You see the Copy Configuration dialog box as shown in Figure 16-10.

Select the location of the file you want to back up (server file, startup configuration, or running
configuration).
Step 3 Select the destination of the file (server file, running configuration, fabric startup configuration).
Step 4 Enter the server address.
Step 5 Click the ... button to select the file name.
Step 6 Choose the file transfer protocol (tftp, ftp, or sftp).
Step 7 Enter the user name and password for the server you specified in Step 4.
