Archiving a switch

You can create an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters. This archive file can be used

to restore the configuration on the same switch or on a replacement switch. You can also use the archive

file as a template for configuring new switches to add to a fabric.
Basically any data received by Enterprise Fabric Management Suite is archived. Passwords are not

archived. Security Group secrets are not included in the archive and must be re-configured using the CLI

after a restore.
Archived parameters include:

Switch properties and statistics

IP configuration

SNMP configuration

Port properties and statistics

Name server

Date/Time and NTP settings

Alarm configuration

Zoning configuration

Nicknames configuration

Call Home parameters

User account information (but not restored)

Configured security (available only with SSL connection to the switch)

RADIUS Server information (available only with SSL connection to the switch)

To archive a switch:

1.

Select a switch in the fabric tree.

2.

Select Switch > Archive.

3.

In the Save dialog box, enter a file name.
