Note that Fabric OS configuration management remains unchanged.• The CEE configuration is not affected by configUpload and configDownload commands enteredin the Fabric OS shell.• The CEE configuration must be manually saved using the CEE CLI write or copy commands.CEE configuration management tasksThis section describes the typical configuration management tasks you may encounter whenadministering the switch.The current configuration on the switch is referred to as the running configuration (running-config).The running-config file can be written to non-volatile memory to save configuration changes.Additionally, the running-config file can be saved as the startup configuration (startup-config) file.When the switch is booted, the system reads the contents of the startup-config file and applies it tothe running-config.Typical CEE configuration management tasks are as follows:• Saving the startup-config and running-config files to Flash.• Uploading the startup-config and running-config files to a remote location.• Uploading any configuration file saved and stored in Flash to a remote location.• Downloading a configuration file from a remote location to the switch to serve as thestartup-config file or the running-config file.• Downloading a configuration file from a remote location to the switch Flash.
