File Transfers
Transferring Switch Configurations
Using the CLI commands described in this section, you can copy switch
configurations to and from a switch, or copy a software image to configure or
replace an ACL in the switch configuration.
Note For greater security, you can perform all TFTP operations using SFTP as
described in the section on Using Secure Copy and SFTP on page A-12.
The include-credentials command can also be used to save passwords, secret
keys, and other security credentials in the running config file. For more
information, see the section on “Saving Security Credentials in a Config File”
in the Access Security Guide for your switch.
TFTP: Copying a Configuration File to a Remote Host
Syntax: copy < startup-config | running-config > tftp < ip-addr > < remote-file >
[ pc | unix ] [oobm]
copy config < filename > tftp < ip-addr > < remote-file > [ pc | unix ] [oobm]
This command can copy a designated config file in the switch
to a TFTP server. For more on multiple configuration files,
refer to “Multiple Configuration Files” on page 6-26.
For switches that have a separate out-of-band management
port, the oobm parameter specifies that the transfer will be
through the out-of-band management interface. If this
parameter is not specified, the transfer will be through the data
interface. The oobm parameter is not available on switches that
do not have a separate out-of-band management port. Refer to
Appendix I, “Network Out-of-Band Management” in this guide
for more information on out-of-band management.
For example, to upload the current startup configuration to a file named
sw8200 in the configs directory on drive “d” in a TFTP server having an IP
address of 10.28.227.105:
ProCurve# copy startup-config tftp 10.28.227.105
d:\configs\sw8200
