Copying Files Using the CLI
The CLI offers a broad range of protocols to use for copying to or from the switch. Note that the switch
always acts as a client, such that an ftp/scp/tftp session will always originate from the switch and either
push files to an external system or pull files from an external system.
File Server: 172.22.36.10
File to be copied to the switch: /etc/hosts
The copy CLI command supports four transfer protocols and 12 different sources for files.
ca-9506# copy ?
bootflash: Select source filesystem
core: Select source filesystem
debug: Select source filesystem
ftp: Select source filesystem
licenses Backup license files
log: Select source filesystem
modflash: Select source filesystem
nvram: Select source filesystem
running-config Copy running configuration to destination
scp: Select source filesystem
sftp: Select source filesystem
slot0: Select source filesystem
startup-config Copy startup configuration to destination
system: Select source filesystem
tftp: Select source filesystem
volatile: Select source filesystem
Use the following syntax to use secure copy (scp) as the transfer mechanism:
"scp:[//[username@]server][/path]"
To copy /etc/hosts from 172.22.36.10 using the user user1, where the destination would be
hosts.txt, use the following command:
switch# copy scp://user1@172.22.36.10/etc/hosts bootflash:hosts.txt
user1@172.22.36.10's password:
hosts 100% |*****************************| 2035 00:00
To back up the startup-configuration to a sftp server, use the following command:
switch# copy startup-config sftp://user1@172.22.36.10/MDS/startup-configuration.bak1
Connecting to 172.22.36.10...
User1@172.22.36.10's password:
switch#
Tip Backing up the startup-configuration to a server should be done on a daily basis and prior to any
changes. A short script could be written to be run on the MDS to perform a save and then backup of
the configuration. The script only needs to contain two commands: copy running-configuration
startup-configuration and then copy startup-configuration tftp://server/name. To execute the
script use: run-script filename.
