Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Configuration Guide
7 - 8 December 2000
Copy from Server to Flash downloads the configuration file from the TFTP server into the devices
flash. (The flash area holds only one configuration file, so you cannot specify a primary or secondary
save location for the file.)
Save from Flash to Server uploads the startup-config file (the configuration file) to the TFTP server
using the name you entered in the Configuration File Name field.
Save from RAM to Server uploads the running-config file to the TFTP server using the name you
entered in the Configuration File Name field. The running-config file contains the active system
configuration, which may not match the contents of the startup-config file if you have made configuration
changes but not saved them to flash. To synchronize the running-config and startup-config files, use the
procedure in Replacing the Startup Configuration with the Running Configuration on page 7-6.
NOTE: While TFTP transfers are in process, a red bar labeled processing is displayed on the screen. When
the TFTP transfer is actively transferring image or configuration data, a green bar labeled loading is displayed.
When a successful transfer is complete, the message TFTP transfer complete is displayed.
If a problem with the transfer occurs, one of the error codes listed in Diagnostic Error Codes and Remedies for
TFTP Transfers on page 7-9 is displayed.
Maximum File Sizes for Startup-Config File and Running-Config
Each Foundry device has a maximum allowable size for the running-config and the startup-config file. If you use
TFTP to load additional information into a devices running-config or startup-config file, it is possible to exceed the
maximum allowable size. If this occurs, you will not be able to save the configuration changes.
The following table lists the maximum size for the running-config and the startup-config file on Foundry devices.
To determine the size of a Foundry devices running-config or startup-config file, copy it to a TFTP server, then use
the directory services on the server to list the size of the copied file. To copy the running-config or startup-config
file to a TFTP server, use one of the following commands.
Commands to copy the running-config to a TFTP server:
copy running-config tftp <ip-addr> <filename>
ncopy running-config tftp <ip-addr> <from-name>
Commands to copy the startup-config file to a TFTP server:
copy startup-config tftp <ip-addr> <filename>
ncopy startup-config tftp <ip-addr> <from-name>
