Xmodem: Copying a Configuration from a Serially Connected PC or
Unix Workstation. To use this method, the switch must be connected via
the serial port to a PC or Unix workstation on which is stored the configuration
file you want to copy. To complete the copying, you will need to know the
name of the file to copy, and the drive and directory location of the file.
Syntax: copy xmodem startup-config <pc | unix>
For example, to copy a configuration file from a PC serially connected to the
switch:
1. Execute the following command:
2. After you see the above prompt, press [Enter].
3. Execute the terminal emulator commands to begin the file transfer.
When the file transfer finishes, the switch automatically reboots itself with the
new configuration.
