This example shows how to copy a configuration file named host1-confg from the netadmin1 directory on
the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 and load and run those commands on the switch:
Switch#
Configure using host1-confg from 172.16.101.101? [confirm]
Connected to 172.16.101.101
Loading 1112 byte file host1-confg:![OK]
Switch#
%SYS-5-CONFIG: Configured from host1-config by rcp from 172.16.101.101
This example shows how to specify a remote username of netadmin1. Then it copies the configuration file
host2-confg from the netadmin1 directory on the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101to the
startup configuration:
Switch#
Switch(config)#
Switch(config)#
Switch#
• copy rcp:[[[//username@]location]/directory]/filename]system:running-config
• copy rcp:[[[//username@]location]/directory]/filename]nvram:startup-config
copy rcp://netadmin1@172.16.101.101/host1-confg system:running-config
