Follow these guidelines and restrictions when performing any CEE configuration management 
tasks.

•

The CEE configuration database is maintained in a file separate from the Fabric OS 
configuration database. Note that Fabric OS configuration management remains unchanged.

•

The CEE configuration is not affected by configUpload and configDownload commands entered 
in the Fabric OS shell.

The CEE configuration must be manually saved using the CEE CLI write or copy commands.

CEE configuration management tasks

This section describes the typical configuration management tasks you may encounter when 
administering the Brocade 8000 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 to 
the 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 the 
startup-config file or the running-config file.

•

Downloading a configuration file from a remote location to the switch Flash.
