TFTP: Copying a Configuration File to a Remote Host

Syntax: copy < startup-config running-config > tftp < ip-addr> < remote-file> [ pc unix ] [oobm]

copy config < filename > tftp < ip-addr> < remote-file> [ pc unix ] [oobm]

This command can copy a designated config file in the switch to a TFTP server. For more on multiple configuration files, refer to “Multiple Configuration Files” on page 6-25.

For switches that have a separate out-of-band management port, the oobm parameter specifies that the traffic will go through the out-of-band management interface. If this parameter is not specified, the traffic goes through the data interface.

For example, to upload the current startup configuration to a file named sw8200 in the configs directory on drive “d” in a TFTP server having an IP address of 10.28.227.105:

ProCurve# copy startup-config tftp 10.28.227.105 d:\configs\sw8200
