Downloading the configuration

About this task

Once the chassis and its various components have been reassembled and powered back on, use the configDownload command to restore the original configuration. The configDownload command can be entered through a Telnet or serial session, but the device must have an Ethernet connection to the server name or IP address of the host for the download process to complete. For more information, refer to the help configdownload command or the Fabric OS Command Reference.
