Examples
In this example, the SCP server has an IP address of 192.168.1.2, with the
username “john”, and the password “secret” set on it. To upload the file
voip.cfg to the server, use this command on the router or switch:
upload method=scp server=192.168.1.2 username=john
password=secret file=voip.cfg destfile=voip.cfg
If desired, set the loader with defaults to make the process of uploading files
simpler in the future. Use the command:
set loader method=scp server=192.168.1.2 username=john
password=secret
Uploading Files from a Remote Machine
Secure Copy allows remote machines to load files from the router or switch. To
do this, do all of the following:
■
Check the router or switch is running as a SSH server with SCP enabled.
■
Configure the user so that they are allowed to use SSH.
■
Set either a password or RSA keyid on the router or switch to authenticate
the user. If using RSA authentication, set the public key onto the router or
switch.
Example
In this example, the username is “Alice” and the client machine is running
Linux. The router or switch has the IP address 192.168.1.1. To copy the file
voip.cfg from the router or switch, use this command on the client machine:
scp [email protected]:voip.cfg /root/voip.cfg
