Step 2
Step 3 configure terminal
Step 4 ip rcmd remote-username username
Step 5 end
Step 6
copy system:running-config
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
or
copy nvram:startup-config

This example shows how to copy the running configuration file named switch2-confg to the netadmin1
directory on the remote host with an IP address of 172.16.101.101:
Switch# copy system:running-config rcp://netadmin1@172.16.101.101/switch2-confg
Write file switch-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]
