■Another console session (through either a direct connection to a terminal device or through Telnet) was already running when you started the session in which the download was attempted.

If an error occurs in which normal switch operation cannot be restored, the switch automatically reboots itself. In this case, an appropriate message is displayed in the copyright screen that appears after the switch reboots.

Using the CLI commands described in this section, you can copy switch configurations to and from a switch.

TFTP: Retrieving a Configuration from a Remote Host.

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

This command copies a configuration from a remote host to the startup-config file in the switch. (See appendix C, “Switch Memory and Configuration” for information on the startup-config file.)

For example, to download a configuration file named sw2512 in the configs directory on drive “d” in a remote host having an IP address of 13.28.227.105:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100# copy tftp startup-config 13.28.227.105 d:\configs\sw2512
