Downloading a Configuration File By Using RCP

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to download a configuration file by using RCP:

This example shows how to copy a configuration file named host1-confg from the netadmin1 directory
on the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 and load and run those commands on the
switch:

Switch# copy rcp://[email protected]/host1-confg system:running-config

Configure using host1-confg from 172.16.101.101? [confirm]

Connected to 172.16.101.101

Loading 1112 byte file host1-confg:![OK]

Switch#

%SYS-5-CONFIG: Configured from host1-config by rcp from 172.16.101.101

This example shows how to specify a remote username of netadmin1. Then it copies the configuration
file host2-confg from the netadmin1 directory on the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101
to the startup configuration:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip rcmd remote-username netadmin1

Switch(config)# end

Switch# copy rcp: nvram:startup-config

Address of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 172.16.101.101

Name of configuration file[rtr2-confg]? host2-confg

Configure using host2-confg from 172.16.101.101?[confirm]

Connected to 172.16.101.101

Loading 1112 byte file host2-confg:![OK]

[OK]

Switch#

%SYS-5-CONFIG_NV:Non-volatile store configured from host2-config by rcp from

172.16.101.101

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Verify that the RCP server is properly configured by
referring to the

“Preparing to Download or Upload a

Configuration File By Using RCP” section on page B-17

.

Step 2

Log into the switch through the console port, the Ethernet
management port, or a Telnet session.

Step 3

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

This step is required only if you override the default remote
username (see Steps 4 and 5).

Step 4

ip rcmd remote-username username

(Optional) Specify the remote username.

Step 5

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

copy
rcp:
[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
system:running-config

or

[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
nvram:startup-config

Using RCP, copy the configuration file from a network
server to the running configuration or to the startup
configuration file.
