Transferring Switch Configurations

TFTP: Copying a Configuration File to a Remote Host.

Syntax: copy < startup-config running-config > tftp < ip-addr> < remote-file>

This command copies the switch’s startup configuration (startup-config file) to a remote TFTP host.

For example, to upload the current startup configuration to a file named sw4100 in the configs directory on drive "d" in a remote host having an IP address of 10.28.227.105:

HPswitch# copy startup-config tftp 10.28.227.105 d:\configs\sw4100

Xmodem: Copying a Configuration File from the Switch to a Serially

Connected PC or Unix Workstation. To use this method, the switch must be connected via the serial port to a PC or Unix workstation to which you want to copy the configuration file. You will need to:

Determine a filename to use.

Know the directory path you will use to store the the configuration file.

Syntax: copy < startup-config running-config > xmodem < pc unix >

For example, to copy a configuration file to a PC serially connected to the switch:

1.Determine the file name and directory location on the PC.

2.Execute the following command:

HPswitch# copy startup-config xmodem pc

3.After you see the following prompt, press [Enter].

Press ’Enter’ and start XMODEM on your host...

4.Execute the terminal emulator commands to begin the file transfer.
