Upgrading Dell Networking OS

NOTE: To upgrade Dell Networking Operating System (OS), refer to the Release Notes for the version you want to load on the
system.

Using HTTP for File Transfers

Stating with Release 9.3(0.1), you can use HTTP to copy files or configuration details to a remote server. To transfer files to an external
server, use the copy source-file-url http://host[:port]/file-path command.
Enter the following source-file-url keywords and information:
• To copy a file from the internal FLASH, enter flash:// followed by the filename.
• To copy the running configuration, enter the keyword running-config.
• To copy the startup configuration, enter the keyword startup-config.
• To copy a file on the USB device, enter usbflash:// followed by the filename.
In the Dell Networking OS release 9.8(0.0), HTTP services support the VRF-aware functionality. If you want the HTTP server to use a VRF
table that is attached to an interface, configure that HTTP server to use a specific routing table. You can use the ip http vrf command
to inform the HTTP server to use a specific routing table. After you configure this setting, the VRF table is used to look up the destination
address.
NOTE: To enable HTTP to be VRF-aware, as a prerequisite you must first define the
VRF.
You can specify either the management VRF or a nondefault VRF to configure the VRF awareness setting.
When you specify the management VRF, the copy operation that is used to transfer files to and from an HTTP server utilizes the VRF table
corresponding to the Management VRF to look up the destination. When you specify a nondefault VRF, the VRF table corresponding to
that nondefault VRF is used to look up the HTTP server.
However, these changes are backward-compatible and do not affect existing behavior; meaning, you can still use the ip http source-
interface command to communicate with a particular interface even if no VRF is configured on that interface
NOTE: If the HTTP service is not VRF-aware, then it uses the global routing table to perform the look-up.
To enable an HTTP client to look up the VRF table corresponding to either management VRF or any nondefault VRF, use the ip http
vrf command in CONFIGURATION mode.
• Configure an HTTP client with a VRF that is used to connect to the HTTP server.
CONFIGURATION MODE
