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 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)
