Copying a File
You can perform the following copy operations:
• Copy a file from a TFTP server to nonvolatile storage.
• Copy a file from nonvolatile storage or temporary storage to a TFTP server.
• Copy a file from one area in nonvolatile storage to another.
• Copy a file to a new filename in nonvolatile storage.
To copy a file, use the following command.
copy source-url destination-url
A URL can be one of the following:
• [ subdirname /] filename
• file:[ subdirname /] filename
• tftp:// ip-addr /[ subdirname /] filename
• tmp: filename
The filename and
file :
filename URLs are equivalent. You can use either URL to refer to a file in a
switch’s nonvolatile memory.
The
tftp:
//ip-addr/filename URL refers to a file on a TFTP server. If DNS is configured on the switch, you
can specify a TFTP server’s hostname as an alternative to specifying the IP address.
The tmp: filename URL refers to a file in temporary storage. You can copy a file out of temporary storage
but you cannot copy a file into temporary storage.
The subdirname/ option specifies a subdirectory.
If you are copying a system image file into nonvolatile storage, the destination-url must include the boot
partition name. You can specify one of the following:
• boot0:/ filename
•
boot1:/
filename
You must specify the boot partition that was not used to load the currently running image.
The maximum supported file size for TFTP is 32 MB.
Note: You can copy a file from a switch to a TFTP server or from a TFTP server to a switch, but you
cannot use MSS to copy a file directly from one TFTP server to another.
