Backup configuration

To do a configuration backup of an EMC DS300 fibrechannel switch, manufactured by Brocade, the following can be used:

Log in to the switch via SSH and issue the following:

 

fcsw21:admin> configupload
Protocol (scp, ftp, local) [ftp]: scp
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 1.2.3.4
User Name [user]: username
Path/Filename [<home dir>/config.txt]: /cfgup/fcsw21.txt
Section (all|chassis|switch [all]):
username@1.2.3.4's password:

configUpload complete: All selected config parameters are uploaded

   

fcsw21:admin>

  /cfgup must exist on the target server of course. It must be writeable for the selected user.
Because this method is from Brocade itself, it should work for other switches than the DS-300 too. I don't have others- so I can't test it.
