Copying a Configuration File to or from a TFTP Server

To copy the startup-config or running-config file to or from a TFTP server, use one of the following methods.
NOTE: You can name the configuration file when you copy it to a TFTP server. However, when you copy a
configuration file from the server to a Foundry device, the file is always copied as "startup-config" or "running-
config", depending on which type of file you saved to the server.
USING THE CLI
To initiate transfers of configuration files to or from a TFTP server using the CLI, enter one of the following
commands:
• copy startup-config tftp <tftp-ip-addr> <filename> – Use this command to upload a copy of the startup
configuration file from the switch or router to a TFTP server.
• copy running-config tftp <tftp-ip-addr> <filename> – Use this command to upload a copy of the running
configuration file from the switch or router to a TFTP server.
• copy tftp startup-config <tftp-ip-addr> <filename> – Use this command to download a copy of the startup
configuration file from a TFTP server to a switch or router.
