Command Usage
The system prompts for data required to complete the copy
command.
The file names are case sensitive. The destination file name
should not contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file
name should not be a period (.), and the maximum length for
file names on the TFTP server is 127 characters or 31 characters
for files on the switch. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”,
“_”)
The number of user-defined configuration files is limited only
by available Flash memory space.
You can use “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” as the source to copy
from the factory default configuration file, but you cannot use
“Factory_Default_Config.cfg” as the destination.
To replace the startup configuration, you must use
startup-config as the destination.
The Boot ROM image cannot be uploaded or downloaded from
the TFTP server. You must use a direct console connection and
access the download menu during a boot up to download the
Boot ROM (or diagnostic) image. See “Upgrading Firmware via
the Serial Port” on page B-1 for more details.
Example
The following example shows how to upload the configuration
settings to a file on the TFTP server:
Console#copy file tftp
Choose file type:
1. config: 2. opcode: <1-2>: 1
Source file name: startup
TFTP server ip address: 10.1.0.99
Destination file name: startup.01
