Copying a System File
This procedure is used to create copies of files stored in a switch’s file
system or on a flash memory card. For instance, you might perform this
procedure to create a copy of a configuration file so that you have a
backup copy.
You can also use this procedure is to copy files between a switch’s file
system and a flash memory card. For example, you might want to copy a
configuration file from a flash card to a switch’s file system, or perhaps
copy an SSL enrollment request from the switch to a compact flash card.
Before performing the procedure, note the following:
ˆ To copy a file on a compact flash card, you must first change to the
directory where the file is stored or, if you are copying a file to the card
from the switch’s file system, where you want to store the file. This is
explained in “Changing the Current Flash Card Directory” on
page 225. The following procedure does not allow you to specify a
directory path. The default location is the root of the flash card.
ˆ Files with the extension UKF are encryption key pairs. These files
cannot be copied, renamed, or deleted from the file system.

1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
