Dell 6.2 Transferring ArubaOS Image Files, Server Type Configuration, Username to log into server

•Secure Copy (SCP): Protocol for secure transfer of files between computers that relies on the underlying Secure Shell (SSH) protocol to provide authentication and security.

NOTE: You can use SCP only for transferring image files to or from the controller, or transferring files between the flash file system

on the controller and a remote host. The SCP server or remote host must support SSH version 2 protocol.

Table 274 lists the parameters that you configure to copy files to or from a controller.

Table 274: File Transfer Configuration Parameters

Server Type	Configuration
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)	•	IP address of the server
	•	filename
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)	•	IP address of the server
	• username and password to log into server
	•	filename
Secure Copy (SCP)	•	IP address of the server or remote host
You must use the CLI to transfer files with SCP.	•	username to log into server
	• absolute path of filename (otherwise, SCP searches for the file relative
		to the user’s home directory)

For example, you can copy an ArubaOS image file from an SCP server to a system partition on a controller or copy the startup configuration on a controller to a file on a TFTP server, You can also store the contents of a controller’s flash file system to an archive file which you can then copy to an FTP server. You can use SCP to securely download system image files from a remote host to the controller or securely transfer a configuration file from flash to a remote host.

Transferring ArubaOS Image Files

You can download an ArubaOS image file onto a controller from a TFTP, FTP, or SCP server. In addition, the WebUI allows you to upload an ArubaOS image file from the local PC on which you are running the browser.

When you transfer an ArubaOS image file to a controller, you must specify the system partition to which the file is copied. The WebUI shows the current content of the system partitions on the controller. You have the option of rebooting the controller with the transferred image file.

In the WebUI

1.Navigate to the Maintenance > Controller > Image Management page.

2.Select TFTP, FTP, SCP, or Upload Local File.

3.Enter or select the appropriate values for the file transfer method.

4.Select the system partition to which the image file is copied.

5.Specify whether the controller is to be rebooted after the image file is transferred, and whether the current configuration is saved before the controller is rebooted.

6.Click Upgrade.

In the CLI

copy tftp: <tftphost> <filename> system: partition [01]}

copy ftp: <ftphost> <user> <filename> system: partition {01}

copy scp: <scphost> <username> <filename> system: partition [01]
