copy source-url image
command.
Copying a Boot File from a Server to Flash Memory

Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Running Configuration File
To load a configuration file from a network server to the running configuration file of the device, enter the
copy
source-url running-config
command. The commands in the loaded configuration file are added to those in the

loaded configuration file taking precedence.

To copy a configuration file from a network server to the startup configuration file of the device, enter
copy source-
url startup-config
. The startup configuration file is replaced by the copied configuration file.
Storing the Running or Startup Configuration on a Server
Use the
copy running-config destination-url
command to copy the current configuration file to a network server
using TFTP. Use the
copy startup-config destination-url
command to copy the startup configuration file to a net-
work server.
Saving the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration
To copy the running configuration to the startup configuration file, enter the
copy running-config startup-config
command.
Backing up the Running or Startup Configuration to a backup file
To copy the running configuration file to a backup configuration file, enter the
copy running-config file
command.
To copy the startup configuration file to a backup configuration file, enter the
copy startup-config file
command.
