Working with Configuration Files

Uploading a Configuration File By Using RCP

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

This example shows how to copy the running configuration file named switch2-confg to the netadmin1
directory on the remote host with an IP address of 172.16.101.101:

Switch# copy system:running-config rcp://[email protected]/switch2-confg

Write file switch-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]

Building configuration...[OK]

Connected to 172.16.101.101

Switch#

This example shows how to store a startup configuration file on a server:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip rcmd remote-username netadmin2

Switch(config)# end

Switch# copy nvram:startup-config rcp:

Remote host[]? 172.16.101.101

Name of configuration file to write [switch2-confg]?

Write file switch2-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]

![OK]

Clearing Configuration Information

You can clear the configuration information from the startup configuration. If you reboot the switch with
no startup configuration, the switch enters the setup program so that you can reconfigure the switch with
all new settings.

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

or

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

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