Do you need to "save" brocade switch changes with commands?
All:
You know when you make Cisco SAN Switch changes you have to finish up your session with:
copy runnning to start
Or something likek that.
When you do a Brocade SAN Switch change with commands, do you have to finish up with anything to permanenetly save the config change?
When I do zoning on the Brocade, I finish up with:
cfgSave
But I think that that is a zoning library database save, not an entire Switch configu save.
I'm only setting "portcfgfillword".

Hi,
There is no "copy runn start" command or equivalent in Brocade. When you make a config change not related to zoning, it is automatically saved and preserved accross reboots.

I still wonder why there even is an option called "save". I can only think of 1 thing: preparation of new aliases and zones without having to activate the new zoneset.

Brocade switch accept little different command then cisco
We use command "write memory" to save the changes

Hello,
What switch and firmware version are you working with? I'd like to make sure I reference material relevant to what you have. The command "write memory" may be used to store the running config as the startup config, as you mentioned.

Hi,
No, you do not need to save Brocade switch changes, when you make a change to the configuration it will be automatically saved.
Your portcfgfillword setting is saved automatically.
Unless (as already mentioned) you do any zoning changes, then yes, you need to do always the “cfgsave” command, it will write the defined and effective zone configuration to the nonvolatile memory. The saved configuration will be automatically reloaded after reboot.

The factory reset doent change the switchname or ip address when i change them manually reboot the switch. The switch reverting back to the old switch name and ip address. Everything i have tried including zeroizing the fips still would not prevent it from revering back. Any ideas as to what is happening?

Hi sm3013,
I think your question should be in a new topic.
That would be correct, to set a switch fully back to factory default there is more to it.
You need to do a firmwarecleaninstall, and lots of things need to be changed manually. Just follow kb article: Connectrix B Series: How do you reset a B_Series Brocade switch back to factory defaults
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000018946/connectrix-b-series-how-do-you-reset-a-b-series-brocade-switch-back-to-factory-defaults
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ed
