Brocade configuration form
4
Symptom
Configuration did not seem to change after the configuration download process finished.
Probable cause and recommended action
Verify that the switch was rebooted by checking the system log. If you are doing this on a
enterprise-class platform, verify that both CPs rebooted by checking the system log.
If any error occurs during the download, such as an error about a particular key, it is important to
issue the configDefault command and attempt to repeat the configDownload command.
Gathering additional information
Be sure to capture the output from the commands you are issuing both from the switch and from
your computer when you are analyzing the problem.
Send this and all logs to your switch support provider.
