Saving/Restoring Setting Values
Information set on the FC Switch Module can be saved or reset by using the configupload or
configdownload command.
To run commands saving the setting of the FC Switch Module, an FTP
server is required additionally. Prepare a proper FTP server before saving.
The configupload and configdownload commands do not change the name
and IP address of the FC Switch Module. After executing configdownload,
change them by using respective commands.
Saving of settings on FC Switch Modules is required in system recovery
including device replacement due to a system fault. If a new FC Switch
Module is installed or some setting on an FC Switch Module is changed,
save the settings on the FC Switch Module.

file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,
may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be
required for some parameter changes to take effect.
