Copying a file to flash memory
For example, to copy a boot image from an IPv6 TFTP server to the primary or secondary storage
location in the device flash memory, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect#copy tftp flash 2001:7382:e0ff:7837::3 test.img secondary
This command copies a boot image named test.img from an IPv6 TFTP server with the IPv6
address of 2001:7382:e0ff:7837::3 to the secondary storage location in the device flash memory.
Syntax: copy tftp flash <ipv6-address> <source-file-name> primary | secondary
The <ipv6-address> parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
The <source-file-name> parameter specifies the name of the file you want to copy from the IPv6
TFTP server.
The primary keyword specifies the primary storage location in the device flash memory, while the
secondary keyword specifies the secondary storage location in the device flash memory.
Copying a file to the running or startup configuration
For example, to copy a configuration file from an IPv6 TFTP server to the running or startup
configuration, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect#copy tftp running-config 2001:7382:e0ff:7837::3 newrun.cfg overwrite
This command copies the newrun.cfg file from the IPv6 TFTP server and overwrites the running
configuration file with the contents of newrun.cfg.
NOTE
To activate this configuration, you must reload (reset) the device.
Syntax: copy tftp running-config | startup-config <ipv6-address> <source-file-name> [overwrite]
Specify the running-config keyword to copy the running configuration from the specified IPv6 TFTP
server.
The <ipv6-address> parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
The <source-file-name> parameter specifies the name of the file that is copied from the IPv6 TFTP
server.
The overwrite keyword specifies that the device should overwrite the current configuration file with
the copied file. If you do not specify this parameter, the device copies the file into the current
running or startup configuration but does not overwrite the current configuration.
Using the IPv6 ncopy command
The ncopy command for IPv6 allows you to do the following:
