Usage
Information
Dell Networking OS supports a maximum of 100 files at the root directory level, on
both the internal and external Flash.
When copying a file to a remote location (for example, using Secure Copy [SCP]),
enter only the keywords and Dell Networking OS prompts you for the rest of the
information. For example, when using SCP, you can enter copy running-config
scp: where running-config is the source and the target is specified in the
ensuing prompts. Dell Networking OS prompts you to enter any required
information, as needed for the named destination—remote destination, destination
filename, user ID, password, etc.
When you use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy
the running configuration (the startup configuration file amended by any
configuration changes made since the system was started) to the startup
configuration file, Dell Networking OS creates a backup file on the internal flash of
the startup configuration.
Dell Networking OS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server,
an FTP server, or a remote NFS file system. For example:
•copy running-config tftp:
•copy running-config ftp:
•copy running-config nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath
You can compress the running configuration by grouping all the VLANs and the
physical interfaces with the same property. Support to store the operating
configuration to the startup config in the compressed mode and to perform an
image downgrade without any configuration loss are provided.
Two existing exec mode CLIs are enhanced to display and store the running
configuration in the compressed mode.
Example Dell#copy running-config scp:/
Address or name of remote host []: 10.10.10.1
Destination file name [startup-config]? old_running
User name to login remote host? sburgess
Password to login remote host? dilling
In this copy scp: flash: example, specifying SCP in the first position indicates
that the target is to be specified in the ensuing prompts. Entering flash: in the
second position indicates that the target is the internal Flash. The source is on a
secure server running SSH, so you are prompted for the user datagram protocol
(UDP) port of the SSH server on the remote host.
