TFTP: Uploading an ACL Command File from a TFTP Server
Syntax: copy tftp command-file < ip-addr > < filename.txt > < unix | pc >
where:
< ip-addr > = The IP address of a TFTP server available
< filename.txt > = A text file containing ACL commands
< unix | pc > = The type of workstation used for serial,
This command copies and executes the named text file from
the specified TFTP server address and executes the ACL
commands in the file. Depending on the ACL commands used,
this action does one of the following in the running-config file:
■
Creates a new ACL.
Replaces an existing ACL. (Refer to "Creating an ACL
■
Offline" in the "Access Control Lists (ACLs)" chapter in
the latest Access Security Guide for your switch.)
■
Adds to an existing ACL.
For example, suppose you:
1. Created an ACL command file named vlan10_in.txt to update an existing
ACL.
2. Copied the file to a TFTP server at 18.38.124.16.
Using a PC workstation, you then execute the following from the CLI to upload
the file to the switch and implement the ACL commands it contains:
ProCurve(config)# copy tftp command-file 18.38.124.16
vlan10_in.txt pc
The switch displays this message:
Running configuration may change, do you want to continue
[y/n]?
to the switch
and stored in the TFTP directory of
the server identified by < ip-addr >
Telnet, or SSH access to the switch CLI
Need help?
Do you have a question about the ProCurve and is the answer not in the manual?
