146 Secure Copy (SCP) Release Note

To upload a file from the router or switch, use the command:

upload method=scp [file=filename] [destfile=destfilename] [{keyid=key-idpassword=password}] [server={hostname

ipaddipv6add}] [username=username]

Examples In this example, the SCP server has an IP address of 192.168.1.2, with the username “john”, and the password “secret” set on it. To upload the file voip.cfg to the server, use this command on the router or switch:

upload method=scp server=192.168.1.2 username=john password=secret file=voip.cfg destfile=voip.cfg

If desired, set the loader with defaults to make the process of uploading files simpler in the future. Use the command:

set loader method=scp server=192.168.1.2 username=john password=secret

Uploading Files from a Remote Machine

Secure Copy allows remote machines to load files from the router or switch. To do this, do all of the following:

■Check the router or switch is running as a SSH server with SCP enabled.

■Configure the user so that they are allowed to use SSH.

■Set either a password or RSA keyid on the router or switch to authenticate the user. If using RSA authentication, set the public key onto the router or switch.

Example In this example, the username is “Alice” and the client machine is running Linux. The router or switch has the IP address 192.168.1.1. To copy the file voip.cfg from the router or switch, use this command on the client machine:

scp alice@192.168.1.1:voip.cfg /root/voip.cfg
