Xmodem: Copying a Configuration File to a USB Serial
Console Connected PC or UNIX Workstation
To use this method, the switch must be connected via the USB serial console
to a PC or UNIX workstation. You will need to:
â– Determine a filename to use.
â– Know the directory path you will use to store the configuration file.
For example, to copy a configuration file to a PC serially connected to the
switch:
1. Determine the file name and directory location on the PC.
Syntax: show tech custom
Executes the commands found in a custom file instead of the
hard-coded list.
Note: Exit the global config mode (if needed) before executing
show tech commands.
ProCurve# show tech custom
No SHOW-TECH file found.
No custom file was uploaded with the copy tftp show-

Syntax: copy < startup-config | running-config > xmodem < pc | unix >

Uses Xmodem to copy a designated configuration file from the
switch to a PC or Unix workstation. For more on multiple
configuration files, refer to “Multiple Configuration Files” on
