Copying a Boot File from a Server to Flash Memory

Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Running Configuration File
To load a configuration file from a network server to the running configuration file of the device,
enter the copy source-url running-config command. The commands in the loaded configuration
file are added to those in the running configuration file as if the commands were typed in the
command-line interface (CLI). Thus, the resulting configuration file is a combination of the
previous running configuration and the loaded configuration files with the loaded configuration
file taking precedence.
Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Startup Configuration
To copy a configuration file from a network server to the startup configuration file of the device,
enter copy source-url startup-config. The startup configuration file is replaced by the copied
configuration file.
Storing the Running or Startup Configuration on a Server
Use the copy running-config destination-url command to copy the current configuration file to a
network server using TFTP. Use the copy startup-config destination-url command to copy the
startup configuration file to a network server.
Saving the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration
To copy the running configuration to the startup configuration file, enter the copy
running-config startup-config command.
