NOTE

reboot both CPs simultaneously.
Example of configDownload without Admin Domains
switch:admin> configdownload
Protocol (scp, ftp, local) [ftp]:
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 10.1.2.3
User Name [user]: UserFoo
Path/Filename [/config.txt]:

*** CAUTION ***
This command is used to download a backed-up configuration
for a specific switch. If using a file from a different
switch, this file's configuration settings will override
any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration
file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,
may cause this switch to fail.
A switch reboot is required for the changes to take effect.
Please make sure all the switches are disabled by
using "chassisdisable" command. Downloading configuration
to an online switch may result in some configuration not
being downloaded to that switch.
configDownload operation may take several minutes
to complete for large files.

Configurations across a fabric
To save time when configuring fabric parameters and software features, you can save a configuration
file from one switch and download it to other switches of the same model type.
Do not download a configuration file from one switch to another switch that is a different model or runs a
different firmware version, because it can cause the switch to fail. If you need to reset affected switches,
