In this example of the command, the IP address of the TFTP server is
152.34.67.8, and the filename of the boot configuration to be
downloaded from the server is “switch2a.cfg”:
awplus# copy tftp flash 152.34.67.8 switch2a.cfg
After receiving the entire file, the switch stores it in the file system.
4. To confirm that the switch received the file, use the DIR command in
the Privileged Exec mode to list the files in the file system.
5. If you downloaded a boot configuration file that you want to designate
as the active boot configuration file on the switch, use the BOOT
CONFIG-FILE command in the Global Configuration mode:
boot config-file filename .cfg
This example of the command designates “switch1a.cfg” as the
switch’s new active boot configuration file:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# boot config-file switch1a.cfg
6. At this point, do one of the following:
 To configure the switch using the settings in the newly designated
active boot configuration file, reset the switch with the REBOOT
command in the Privileged Exec mode.
Caution
The switch does not forward packets while initializing the
management software. Some network traffic may be lost.
 To overwrite the settings in the file with the switch’s current
settings, enter the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG
STARTUP-CONFIG command in the Privileged Exec mode.
