example, the SG300-28 switch is accessed through Telnet.
Step 2. To back up a configuration file to a specific destination, enter the following:
SG350X#copy [running-config | startup-config] [dst-url] [exclude | include-encrypted | include-
plaintext]
The parameters are:
running-config — The configuration file that contains the current configuration, including any
changes applied in any management sessions since the last reboot.
●
startup-config — The configuration file that is saved to flash memory.
●
dst-url — The URL of the destination file or the directory to be copied. The predefined URL
aliases cannot be configured.
●
- tftp:// — Source URL (tftp://ip-address/filename) for a file on a TFTP network server from
which to download.
- scp:// — Source URL (scp://[username:password@]host/filename) for a file on an SCP
server from which to download using SSH client. Before you proceed with the SCP method,
make sure that SSH server authentication is enabled and the corresponding settings have
been configured. For instructions on how to configure SSH authentication settings on your
switch through the CLI, click
.
exclude — The file does not include sensitive data in the file being copied.
●
include-encrypted — The file includes sensitive data in its encrypted form. This secure option
is applied by default, if no secure option is configured.
●
include-plaintext — The file includes sensitive data in its plaintext form.
●
Guidelines:
Use the copy running-config dst-url command to copy the current configuration file to a
network server such as TFTP or SCP.
Use the copy startup-config dst-url command to copy the startup configuration file to a
network server.
TFTP:
Note: In this example, the running configuration file in plaintext form is saved to the TFTP
server with IP address 192.168.100.139.
