For Admin Domain users, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for details regarding
configUpload and configDownload behavior.
No spaces are allowed between operands, nor can any of the operands contain the double-quote
character (“). This applies to command-line mode and to the interactive mode.
Once a configuration file has been uploaded to an external system, it must NOT be manually edited
before being downloaded, either to the same or another switch. Such an operation bypasses sanity
checks for some configuration datapoints, resulting in unpredictable behavior.
Operands The following operands are optional:
-p ftp | -ftp or -p scp | -scp
Specifies the data transmission protocol. If no protocol is specified, it defaults
to FTP.
“host” A host name or IP address in quotation marks, for example, “citadel” or
“192.168.1.48”. The configuration file is uploaded from this host. To evoke
the FTP server by name, you must setup one or more DNS servers
beforehand with the dnsConfig command.
“user” A user name in quotation marks, for example, “jdoe”. The user name is used
to gain access to the host.
“path” A file name and path in quotation marks, for example, "config.txt". An
absolute path name may be specified using forward slash "/". A relative path
name creates the file in the user's home directory on Unix hosts, and in the
directory where the FTP server is running on Windows hosts.
“passwd” The password for login when using the FTP protocol.
-local Uploads to a predetermined directory on the local chassis.
-USB | -U Uploads to a predetermined directory on an attached USB device.
