Backing up the Application Files
You can back up the application files to the switch's flash:/ file system or to a TFTP
server.
To back up the application file to the switch's flash:/ file system, enter:
■
copy flash:/s3q05_01_00s56.app flash:/s3q05_01_00s56app.app
To back up the application file to a TFTP server, enter the following command:
■
tftp (TFTP server IP address) put flash:/(filename).app
For example, to back up the application file from flash:/ to an TFTP server with
the IP address is 10.0.1.100 (your TFTP servers IP address will probably be
different), enter the following command:
tftp 10.0.1.100 put flash:/s3q05_01_00s56c05.app
