Transferring Switch Configurations
TFTP: Copying a Configuration File to a Remote Host.
Syntax: copy < startup-config | running-config > tftp < ip-addr > < remote-file >
This command copies the switch’s startup configuration (startup-config file)
to a remote TFTP host.
For example, to upload the current startup configuration to a 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 startup-config tftp 10.28.227.105
d:\configs\sw2510G
Xmodem: Copying a Configuration File from the Switch to a Serially
Connected PC or Unix Workstation. To use this method, the switch must
be connected via the serial port (this is an RJ45 port on the front panel of the
2510G switch) to a PC or Unix workstation to which you want to copy the
configuration file. You will need to:
■ Determine a filename to use.
■ Know the directory path you will use to store the the configuration file.
Syntax: copy < startup-config | running-config > xmodem < pc | unix >
For example, to copy a configuration file to a PC serially connected to the
switch:
1. Determine the file name and directory location on the PC.
2. Execute the following command:
ProCurve# copy startup-config xmodem pc
3. After you see the following prompt, press
[Enter].
Press ’Enter’ and start XMODEM on your host...
4. Execute the terminal emulator commands to begin the file transfer.
