Working with Configuration Files

Copying a Configuration File to a Remote Server

You can copy a configuration file stored in the internal memory to a remote server as a backup or to use for
configuring other Cisco NX-OS devices.
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
This example shows how to copy the configuration file to a remote server:
switch# copy running-config
tftp://10.10.1.1/sw1-run-config.bak
switch# copy startup-config
tftp://10.10.1.1/sw1-start-config.bak

Downloading the Running Configuration From a Remote Server

You can configure your Cisco NX-OS device by using configuration files that you created on another Cisco
NX-OS device and uploaded to a remote server. You then download the file from the remote server to your
device using TFTP, FTP, Secure Copy (SCP), or Secure Shell FTP (SFTP) to the running configuration.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the configuration file that you want to download is in the correct directory on the remote server.
Ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be set to world-read.
Ensure that your device has a route to the remote server. Your device and the remote server must be in the
same subnetwork if you do not have a router or a default gateway to route traffic between subnets.
