Transferring switch configurations

Using the CLI commands described in the section beginning with TFTP: Copying a configuration file to a

remote host (CLI) on page 358, you can copy switch configurations to and from a switch, or copy a software

image to configure or replace an ACL in the switch configuration.

For greater security, you can perform all TFTP operations using SFTP, as described in the section

Using SCP and SFTP on page 348.

You can also use the include-credentials command to save passwords, secret keys, and other

security credentials in the running config file. For more information, see the section on "Saving

Security Credentials in a Config File" in the access security guide for your switch.

copy {<startup-config | running-config>} tftp < ip-addr > < remote-file > [pc | unix]

copy config <filename> tftp <ip-addr> <remote-file> [pc | unix]

This command can copy a designated config file in the switch to a TFTP server. For more information, see

"Multiple Configuration Files" in the basic operation guide for your switch.

To upload the current startup configuration to a file named sw8200 in the configs directory on drive "d" in a TFTP

server having an IP address of 10.28.227.105:

switch# copy startup-config tftp 10.28.227.105

d:\configs\sw8200
