To Copy the Switch Configuration File to the SCP Host
Syntax:
>> scp [-4|-6] <username>@<switch IP address>:getcfg <local filename>
Example:
>> scp scpadmin@205.178.15.157:getcfg ad4.cfg
To Load a Switch Configuration File from the SCP Host
Syntax:
>> scp [-4|-6] <local filename> <username>@<switch IP address>:putcfg
Example:
>> scp ad4.cfg scpadmin@205.178.15.157:putcfg
To Apply and Save the Configuration
When loading a configuration file to the switch, the apply and save commands are
still required for the configuration commands to take effect. The apply and save
commands may be entered manually on the switch, or by using SCP commands.
Syntax:
>> scp [-4|-6] <local filename> <username>@<switch IP address>:putcfg_apply
>> scp [-4|-6] <local filename> <username>@<switch IP address>:putcfg_apply_save
Example:
>> scp ad4.cfg scpadmin@205.178.15.157:putcfg_apply
>> scp ad4.cfg scpadmin@205.178.15.157:putcfg_apply_save
• The CLI diff command is automatically executed at the end of putcfg to notify
the remote client of the difference between the new and the current
configurations.
• putcfg_apply runs the apply command after the putcfg is done.
• putcfg_apply_save saves the new configuration to the flash after
putcfg_apply is done.
• The putcfg_apply and putcfg_apply_save commands are provided
because extra apply and save commands are usually required after a putcfg;
however, an SCP session is not in an interactive mode.
