106 Command Line Interface

Working with switch configurations

Successful management of switches and fabrics with the CLI depends on the effective use of switch 

configurations. Modifying configurations, backing up configurations, and restoring configurations are key 

switch management tasks.

Modifying a configuration

A switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration. Each switch configuration 

contains switch, port, port threshold alarm, and zoning configuration components. The Show Switch 

command displays the name of the active configuration. A configuration name can have up to 31 

characters excluding the pound symbol (#), semicolon (;), and comma (,). By editing the latest 

configuration and saving the results under a new name, you can create a history of configuration changes. 

Use the Config List command to display the configurations stored on the switch.

McDATA4GbSAN #> config list

  Current list of configurations

  ------------------------------

  default

  config_10132003

To modify a switch configuration you must open an Admin session with the Admin Start command. An 

Admin session prevents other accounts from making changes at the same time either through Telnet or 

McDATA Web Server. You must also open a Config Edit session with the Config Edit command and 

indicate which configuration you want to modify. If you do not specify a configuration name the active 

configuration is assumed. The Config Edit session provides access to the Set Config commands with which 

you make modifications to the port, switch, port threshold alarm, or zoning configuration components as 

shown:

McDATA4GbSAN #> admin start

McDATA4GbSAN (admin) #> config edit default

   The config named default is being edited.

McDATA4GbSAN (admin-config)#> set config port . . .

McDATA4GbSAN (admin-config)#> set config switch . . .

McDATA4GbSAN (admin-config)#> set config threshold . . .

McDATA4GbSAN (admin-config)#> set config zoning . . .

The Config Save command saves the changes you made during the Config Edit session. In this case, 

changes to the configuration named Default are being saved to a new configuration named 
config_10132003

. However, the new configuration does not take effect until you activate it with the 

Config Activate command:

McDATA4GbSAN (admin-config)#> config save config_10132003

McDATA4GbSAN (admin)#> config activate config_10132003

McDATA4GbSAN (admin)#> admin end

The Admin End command releases the Admin session for other administrators when you are done making 

changes to the switch.
