Configuration file restoration
8
Make sure that the configuration file you are downloading is compatible with your switch model.
Downloading a configuration file from a different switch model or from a different firmware could
cause your switch to fail.
If you have Virtual Fabrics enabled, you must follow the procedure in “Configuration management
for Virtual Fabrics” on page 186 to restore the logical switches.
If a configDownload command is issued on a non-FC router, any FC router parameters may be
viewed in the downloaded data. This is harmless to the switch and can be ignored.
Note that while is possible to transfer a v6.4.1 config file to a v7.0.0 switch, the reverse cannot be
done. You cannot transfer a v7.0.0 config file to a v6.4.1 switch.
Restrictions
-chassis The number of switches defined in the downloaded configuration file must
match the number of switches currently defined on the switch.
-fid FID The FID must be defined in both the downloaded configuration file and the
current system.
Brocade recommends you disable a switch before downloading a configuration
file. If you plan to download a configuration file while the switch is enabled, see
“Configuration download without disabling a switch” on page 184.
-fid FID -sfid FID The FID must be defined on the switch and the source FID must be defined in the
downloaded configuration file.
