TFTP: Copying a configuration file from a remote host (CLI)
Syntax:
copy tftp {<startup-config | running-config> <
ip-address
> <
remote-file
>} [pc | unix]
copy tftp config <
filename
> <
ip-address
> <

> [pc | unix]
This command can copy a configuration from a remote host to a designated config file in the switch. For more
information, see "Multiple Configuration Files" in the basic operation guide for your switch.
For more information on flash image use, see "Using Primary and Secondary Flash Image Options" in the basic
operation guide for your switch.
Example:
To download a configuration file named
sw8200
in the
configs
directory on drive
"d"
in a remote host having an
IP address of 10.28.227.105:
switch# copy tftp startup-config 10.28.227.105
d:\configs\sw8200
TFTP: Copying a customized command file to a switch (CLI)
Using the
copy tftp
command with the
show-tech
option provides the ability to copy a customized command
file to the switch. When the
show tech custom
command is executed, the commands in the custom file are
executed instead of the hard-coded list of commands. If no custom file is found, the current hard-coded list is
executed. This list contains commands to display data, such as the image stamp, running configuration, boot
history, port settings, and so on.
Syntax:
copy tftp show-tech <
ipv4 or ipv6 address
> <
filename
>
Copies a customized command file to the switch (see

show tech

show tech
commands in the custom file, with the exception of
show tech custom
. For
example, you can include the command
show tech all
.
If no custom file is found, a message displays stating "No SHOW-TECH file found." (No custom file was uploaded
with the
copy tftp show-tech
command.)
