TFTP: Copying a Configuration File from a Remote Host

Syntax: copy tftp config < dest-file> < ip-addr> < remote-file> < pc unix >

This is an addition to the copy tftp command options. Use this command to download a configuration file from a TFTP server to the switch.

Note: This command requires an empty memory slot in the switch. If there are no empty memory slots, the CLI displays the following message:

Unable to copy configuration to "< filename >".

For more on using TFTP to copy a file from a remote host, refer to “TFTP: Copying a Configuration File from a Remote Host” on page A-24.

For example, the following command copies a startup-config file named test­ 01.txt from a (UNIX) TFTP server at IP address 10.10.28.14 to the first empty memory slot in the switch:

ProCurve(config)# copy tftp config test-01 10.10.28.14 test-01.txt unix

For more on using Xmodem to copy a file to a serially connected host, refer to “Xmodem: Copying a Configuration File to a Serially Connected PC or UNIX Workstation” on page A-26.
