When you upload an image to the RCP to the server, it must be properly configured to accept the
RCP write request from the user on the switch. For UNIX systems, you must add an entry to the
.rhosts file for the remote user on the RCP server. For example, suppose the switch contains these
configuration lines:
hostname Switch1
ip rcmd remote-username User0
If the switch IP address translates to Switch1.company.com, the .rhosts file for User0 on the RCP
server should contain this line:
Switch1.company.com Switch1

referring to the "Preparing to Download or Upload an Image
File By Using RCP" section on page
Log into the switch through the console port, the Ethernet
management port, or a Telnet session.
Enter global configuration mode.
This step is required only if you override the default remote
username (see Steps 4 and 5).
(Optional) Specify the remote username.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
