Working with Configuration Files
Uploading a Configuration File By Using RCPBeginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to upload a configuration file by using RCP:
This example shows how to copy the running configuration file named switch2-confg to the netadm in1
directory on the remote host with an IP address of 172.16.1 01.101:
Switch# copy system:running-config rcp://netadmin1@172.16.101.101/switch2-confg
Write file switch-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]
Building configuration...[OK]
Connected to 172.16.101.101
Switch#
This example shows how to store a startup configuration file on a server:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# ip rcmd remote-username netadmin2
Switch(config)# end
Switch# copy nvram:startup-config rcp:
Remote host[]? 172.16.101.101
Name of configuration file to write [switch2-confg]?
Write file switch2-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]
![OK]
Command Purpose
Step1 Verify that the RCP server is properly configured by
referring to the “Preparing to Download or Upload a
Configuration File By Using RCP” section on page B-16.
Step2 Log into the switch through a Telnet session.
Step3 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
This step is required only if you override the default remote
username (see Steps 4 and 5).
Step4 ip rcmd remote-us ername username (Optional) Specify the remote username.
Step5 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step6 copy system:running-config
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
or
copy nvram:startup-config
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
Using RCP, copy the configuration file from a switch running
or startup configuration file to a network server.
