-fid FID
The FID must be defined in both the downloaded configuration file and the current system.
NOTE
Brocade recommends you disable a switch before downloading a configuration file. If you plan to
download a configuration file while the switch is enabled, refer to
Configuration download without
on page 260.
-fid FID -sfid
FID
The FID must be defined on the switch and the source FID must be defined in the downloaded
configuration file.
-all
The number of switches or FIDs defined in the downloaded configuration file must match the
number of switches or FIDs currently defined on the switch.
The switches must be disabled first. If they are not, the configDownload command will download
the configuration for as many switches as possible until a non-disabled switch is found. If a non-
disabled switch is found, the downloading process stops. Before running the configDownload
command, verify if any switches must be disabled.
If you are performing a configuration download due to a configuration error, it is highly
recommended to run the configDefault command before running the configDownload
command. Refer to
Configuration download without disabling a switch
on page 260 for more
information on non-disruptive configuration downloads.
If Virtual Fabrics mode is enabled, the chassisDisable and chassisEnable commands are used
to disable all logical switches on the affected switch. This process bypasses the need to disable
and enable each switch individually once the configuration download has completed.
Non-Virtual Fabric configuration files downloaded to a Virtual Fabric system have a configuration
applied only to the default switch. If there are multiple logical switches created in a Virtual Fabric-
enabled system, there may be problems if there are ports that belong to the default switch in a
Virtual Fabric-disabled system, but are now assigned to logical switches in a Virtual Fabric-
enabled system. Only configurations related to ports within the default switch are applied.
If you must set up your switch again, run the commands listed in
and save the output in a file
format. Store the files in a safe place for emergency reference.
