Uploading a primary or secondary boot image from an IPv6 TFTP server
For example, to upload a primary or secondary boot image from an IPv6 TFTP server to a device flash
memory, enter a command such as the following.
device#copy tftp 2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 primary.img flash primary
This command uploads the primary boot image named primary.img from a TFTP server with the IPv6
address of 2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 to the device primary storage location in flash memory.
Syntax:copy tftp ipv6-address source-file-name flash primary | secondary
The tftp ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
The source-file-name parameter specifies the name of the file you want to copy from the TFTP server.
The primary keyword specifies the primary location in flash memory, while the secondary keyword
specifies the secondary location in flash memory.
Uploading a running or startup configuration from an IPv6 TFTP server
For example to upload a running or startup configuration from an IPv6 TFTP server to a device, enter a
command such as the following.
device#copy tftp 2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 newrun.cfg running-config
This command uploads a file named newrun.cfg from a TFTP server with the IPv6 address of
2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 to the device.
Syntax:copy tftp ipv6-address source-file-name running-config|startup-config
The tftp ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
The source-file-name parameter specifies the name of the file you want to copy from the TFTP server.
Specify the running-config keyword to upload the specified file from the IPv6 TFTP server to the
device. The device copies the specified file into the current running configuration but does not overwrite
the current configuration.
Specify the startup-config keyword to upload the specified file from the IPv6 TFTP server to the
device. The the device copies the specified file into the current startup configuration but does not
overwrite the current configuration.

Using SNMP to save and load configuration information

You can use a third-party SNMP management application such as HP OpenView to save and load a
configuration on a Brocade device. To save and load configuration information using HP OpenView, use
the following procedure.
NOTE
The syntax shown in this section assumes that you have installed HP OpenView in the "/usr" directory.
1. Configure a read-write community string on the Brocade device, if one is not already configured. To
configure a read-write community string, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level
of the CLI.
snmp-server community string ro|rw
