Uploading a Configuration File By Using RCP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to upload a configuration file by using RCP:
This example shows how to copy the running configuration file named
switch2-confg
to the
netadmin1
directory on the remote host with an IP address of 172.16.101.101:
Switch#
copy system:running-config rcp://[email protected]/switch2-confg
Write file switch-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]
Building configuration...[OK]
Connected to 172.16.101.101
Switch#
This example shows how to store a startup configuration file on a server:
Switch#
configure terminal
Switch(config)#
ip rcmd remote-username netadmin2
Switch(config)#
end
Switch#
copy nvram:startup-config rcp:
Remote host[]?
172.16.101.101
Name of configuration file to write [switch2-confg]?
Write file switch2-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]

Step 2
Log into the switch through the console port, the Ethernet
management port, or a Telnet session.
Step 3

end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
copy system:running-config
rcp:

]
or
copy nvram:startup-config
rcp:
[[[
