Transfer Features
Using the CLI commands described in this section, you can copy switch
configurations to and from a switch.
TFTP: Retrieving a Configuration from a Remote Host.
Syntax: copy tftp startup-config <ip-address> <remote-file>
This command copies a configuration from a remote host to the startup-config
file in the switch. (See appendix C, “Switch Memory and Configuration” for
information on the startup-config file.)
For example, to download a configuration file named sw2512 in the configs
directory on drive “ d” in a remote host having an IP address of 13.28.227.105:
SMC TigerSwitch 10/100# copy tftp startup-config
13.28.227.105 d:\configs\sw2512
