Two types of configuration files can beuploaded with this command: Virtual Fabric configuration parameters and system configurationparameters.Use the -vf option to upload Virtual Fabric configuration parameters. The Virtual Fabricconfiguration includes logical switch definitions, Virtual Fabric status (enabled or disabled), andthe internal port (F_Port) trunking ports. The file should be named switch-conf_xx.txt to distinguishit from the regular system configuration (config.txt). The xx indicates the platform ID. The platformID is the same as the first two digits of the "switchType" parameter displayed by switchShow. VirtualFabric configuration data can only be shared between switches that belong to the same platformtype and share the same platform ID. Refer to configDownload for more information on the VirtualFabric configuration.The system configuration data is uploaded separately. It is grouped into chassis information andswitch information. Each configuration type is managed separately and the behavior ofconfigUpload depends on the environment in which the command is executed and which part ofthe system configuration you wish to upload.• In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without chassis permissions, this commanduploads the current logical switch configuration only. An Admin user with chassis permissionscan use additional parameters to perform the following selective configuration uploads:- Upload the switch configuration of a specified logical switch (-fid FID).- Upload the chassis configuration only (-chassis).- Upload the entire system configuration including the data for all logical switches and forthe chassis (-all).The interactive version of the command (no operands) prompts for input on only theparameters the user is allowed to execute.
