Case-sensitive Filenames. Filenames are case-sensitive. In this example, you have a configuration file
named Test.cfg. If you attempt to copy the file with the incorrect case, for example test.cfg, the switch
displays a message similar to the following:
Error: cp: /config/test.cfg: No such file or directory
Since the switch is unable to locate test.cfg, the file is not copied.
Local Filename Character Restrictions. This section provides information about the characters supported
by the switch for local filenames.
When specifying a local filename, the switch permits only the following characters:
Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z)
●
Numerals (0-9)
●
Period ( . )
●
Dash ( - )
●
Underscore ( _ )
●
When naming a local file, remember the requirements listed above.
Modular Switches Only. This command also replicates the action from the primary MSM to the backup
MSM. For example, if you copy a file on the primary MSM, the same file is copied to the backup MSM.
For the option, the source and/or destination is the memorycard. You must mount the
memorycard
memory card for this operation to succeed. The
external memory card or a file already on the card. If you copy a file from the switch to the external
memory card, and the new filename is identical to the source file, you do not need to re-enter the
filename.
Example
The following command makes a copy of a configuration file named test.cfg and gives the copied file a
new name of test_rev2.cfg:
cp test.cfg test_rev2.cfg
The following command makes a copy of a configuration file named primary.cfg from a modular switch
to the external memory card with the same name, primary.cfg:
cp primary.cfg memorycard
The above command performs the same action as entering the following command:
cp primary.cfg memorycard primary.cfg
