File Transfers
Transferring Switch Configurations
■ For a Unix TFTP server, the file permissions for the switch software file
do not allow the file to be copied.
■ Another console session (through either a direct connection to a terminal
device or through Telnet) was already running when you started the
session in which the download was attempted.
Note If an error occurs in which normal switch operation cannot be restored, the
switch automatically reboots itself. In this case, an appropriate message is
displayed after the switch reboots.
Transferring Switch Configurations
Transfer Features
Using the CLI commands described in this section, you can copy switch
configurations to and from a switch.
TFTP: Copying a Configuration from a Remote Host.
Syntax: copy tftp < startup-config | running-config>< ip-address > < remote-file >
This command copies a configuration from a remote host to the startup-config
file in the switch. (Refer to Chapter 6, “Switch Memory and Configuration” for
information on the startup-config file.)
For example, to download a configuration file named sw2510G in the configs
directory on drive “d” in a remote host having an IP address of 10.28.227.105:
ProCurve# copy tftp startup-config 10.28.227.105
d:\configs\sw2510G
