TFTP: Copying a Configuration File to a Remote Host

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

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

For switches that have a separate out-of-band management port, the oobm parameter specifies that the TFTP traffic will go out through the out-of-band management interface. If this parameter is not specified, the TFTP traffic goes out through the data interface. The oobm parameter is not available on switches that do not have a separate out-of-band management port. Refer to Appendix I, “Network Out-of-Band Management” in this guide for more information on out-of­ band management.

For more on using TFTP to copy a file to a remote server, refer to “TFTP: Copying a Configuration File to a Remote Host” on page A-30.
