Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images
Working with Software Images
When you upload an image to the RCP to the server, it must be properly configured to accept the RCP write request
from the user on the switch. For UNIX systems, you must add an entry to the .rhosts file for the remote user on the
RCP server.
For example, suppose the switch contains these configuration lines:
hostname Switch1
ip rcmd remote-username User0
If the switch IP address translates to Switch1.company.com, the .rhosts file for User0 on the RCP server should
contain this line:
Switch1.company.com Switch1
For more information, see the documentation for your RCP server.
Downloading an Image File By Using RCP
You can download a new image file and replace or keep the current image.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow Steps 1 through 6 to download a new image from an RCP server and overwrite
the existing image. To keep the current image, go to Step 6.
Command Purpose
1. Verify that the RCP server is properly configured by
referring to the Preparing to Download or Upload a
Configuration File By Using RCP, page 1007.
2. Log into the switch through the console port or a
Telnet session.
3. configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
This step is required only if you override the default remote
username (see Steps 4 and 5).
4. ip rcmd remote-username username (Optional) Specifies the remote username.
