Downloading a Configuration File By Using RCP

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to download a configuration file by using RCP:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
		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-17.
Step 2
		Log into the switch through the console port, the Ethernet
		management port, or a Telnet session.
Step 3
	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
		This step is required only if you override the default remote
		username (see Steps 4 and 5).
Step 4
	ip rcmd remote-username username	(Optional) Specify the remote username.
Step 5
	end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
	copy	Using RCP, copy the configuration file from a network
	rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]	server to the running configuration or to the startup
	system:running-config	configuration file.
	or
	copy
	rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
	nvram:startup-config

This example shows how to copy a configuration file named host1-confgfrom the netadmin1 directory on the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 and load and run those commands on the switch:

Switch# copy rcp://netadmin1@172.16.101.101/host1-confg system:running-config

Configure using host1-confg from 172.16.101.101? [confirm]

Connected to 172.16.101.101

Loading 1112 byte file host1-confg:![OK] Switch#

%SYS-5-CONFIG: Configured from host1-config by rcp from 172.16.101.101

This example shows how to specify a remote username of netadmin1. Then it copies the configuration file host2-confgfrom the netadmin1 directory on the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 to the startup configuration:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip rcmd remote-username netadmin1

Switch(config)# end

Switch# copy rcp: nvram:startup-config

Address of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 172.16.101.101

Name of configuration file[rtr2-confg]? host2-confg

Configure using host2-confg from 172.16.101.101?[confirm]

Connected to 172.16.101.101

Loading 1112 byte file host2-confg:![OK] [OK]

Switch#

%SYS-5-CONFIG_NV:Non-volatile store configured from host2-config by rcp from 172.16.101.101
