Flash/File Commands
Command Function
copy
This command
moves (upload/
download) a code
image or
configuration file
between the
switch’s flash
memory and a
TFTP server.
When you save
the system code
or configuration
settings to a file
on a TFTP server,
that file can later
be downloaded to
the switch to
restore system
operation.
The success of
the file transfer
depends on the
accessibility of the
TFTP server and
the quality of the
network
connection.
Syntax:
copy file {file | running-config | startup-config | tftp | unit}
copy running-config {file | startup-config | tftp}
copy startup-config {file | running-config | tftp}
copy tftp {file | running-config | startup-config | https-certificate |
public-key}
copy unit file
• file - Keyword that allows you to copy to/from a file.
• running-config - Keyword that allows you to copy to/from the current running
configuration.
• startup-config - The configuration used for system initialization.
• tftp - Keyword that allows you to copy to/from a TFTP server.
• https-certificate - Copies an HTTPS certificate from an TFTP server to the switch.
• public-key - Keyword that allows you to copy a SSH key from a TFTP server. (“Secure
Shell Commands” on page 4-34)
• unit - Keyword that allows you to copy to/from a unit.
Default Setting: None
Command Mode: Privileged Exec
Command Usage:
• The system prompts for data required to complete the copy command.
• The destination file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file
name should not be a period (.), and the maximum length for file names on the TFTP
server is 127 characters or 31 characters for files on the switch. (Valid characters: A-Z,
a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
• Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the switch supports only two operation code
files.
• The maximum number of user-defined configuration files depends on available memory.
• You can use “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” as the source to copy from the factory default
configuration file, but you cannot use it as the destination.
• To replace the startup configuration, you must use startup-config as the destination.
• Use the copy file unit command to copy a local file to another switch in the stack. Use the
copy unit file command to copy a file from another switch in the stack.
• The Boot ROM and Loader cannot be uploaded or downloaded from the TFTP server.
You must follow the instructions in the release notes for new firmware, or contact your
distributor for help.
• For information on specifying an https-certificate, see “Replacing the Default Secure-site
Certificate” on page 3-42. For information on configuring the switch to use HTTPS/SSL
for a secure connection, see “ip http secure-server” on page 4-31.
Example: The following example shows how to upload the configuration settings to a file
on the TFTP server:
Console#copy file tftp
Choose file type:
1. config: 2. opcode: <1-2>: 1
Source file name: startup
TFTP server ip address: 10.1.0.99
Destination file name: startup.01
TFTP completed.
Success.
