Transferring Switch Configurations
TFTP: Copying a Configuration File from a Remote Host
Syntax: copy tftp < startup-config | running-config > < ip-address > < remote-file >
[ pc | unix ] [oobm]
copy tftp config < filename > < ip-address > < remote-file > [ pc | unix ]
[oobm]
This command can copy a configuration from a remote host
to a designated config file in the switch. For more on
multiple configuration files, refer to “Multiple
Configuration Files” on page 6-26.
(Refer to “Using Primary and Secondary Flash Image
Options” on page 6-14 for more on flash image use.)
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 download a configuration file named sw8200 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\sw8200
TFTP: Copying a Customized Command File to a Switch
Using the copy tftp command with the show-tech option provides the ability to
copy a customized command file to the switch. When the show tech custom
command is executed, the commands in the custom file are executed instead
of the hard-coded list of commands. If no custom file is found, the current
hard-coded list is executed. This list contains commands to display data such
as the image stamp, running configuration, boot history, port settings, and so
on.
