Switch section
There is always at least one switch section for the default switch or a switch that has Virtual Fabrics
mode disabled, and there are additional sections corresponding to each additionally defined
logical switch instance on a switch with Virtual Fabrics mode enabled. This data is switch-specific
and affects only that logical switch behavior.
The switch section of the configuration file contains information for all of the following:
• Boot parameters
• Configuration
• Bottleneck configuration
• FCoE software configuration
• Zoning
• Defined security policies
• Active security policies
• iSCSI
• CryptoDev
• FICU saved files
• VS_SW_CONF
• Banner
Configuration file backup
Brocade recommends keeping a backup configuration file. You should keep individual backup files
for all switches in the fabric and avoid copying configurations from one switch to another. The
configUpload command, by default, only uploads the switch context configuration for the logical
switch context in which the command is executed.
In non-Virtual Fabric mode, you must use the configUpload - all command to include both the
switch and the chassis information. In Virtual Fabric mode, the configUpload
-
all command can be
selected to upload all logical switches and the chassis configuration. Only administrators with
chassis permissions are allowed to upload other FIDs or the chassis configuration.
The following information is not saved in a backup:
• dnsConfig command information
• Passwords
