Copying the startup-config file between a flash card and flash memory
Use the following methods to copy a startup-config file between flash memory and a flash card. By
default, the Brocade device uses the startup-config in the primary area of flash memory when you
boot or reload the device.
NOTE
The Brocade device cannot configure from a startup-config file on a flash card. You cannot boot or
reload from a flash card.
To copy a startup-config file from a flash card to flash memory, enter a command similar to the
following.
Brocade# copy slot1 startup-config test2.cfg
Syntax: copy slot1 | slot2 startup-config [from-dir-path/file-name]
This command copies a startup configuration named test2.cfg from the flash card in slot 1 into the
flash memory on the device. The next time you reboot or reload, the device uses the configuration
information in test2.cfg.
To copy the startup-config file on the device from flash memory onto a flash card, enter a command
similar to the following.
Brocade# copy startup-config slot1 mfgtest.cfg
Syntax: copy startup-config slot1 | slot2 [/to-dir-path/]to-name
This command copies the startup configuration from the flash memory on the device to a flash
card in slot 1 and names the file mfgtest.cfg.
Copying the startup-config file between flash memory and a TFTP server
Use the following methods to copy a startup-config between flash memory and a TFTP server to
which the Brocade system has access. By default, the device configures from the startup-config in
the primary area of flash memory when you boot or reload the device.
To copy the startup-config on the device from flash memory to a TFTP server, enter a command
similar to the following.
Brocade# copy startup-config tftp 10.10.10.1 /backups/startup.cfg
Syntax: copy startup-config tftp ip-addr [/to-dir-path]to-name
To copy a startup-config file from a TFTP server to flash memory, enter a command similar to the
following.
Brocade# copy tftp startup-config 10.10.10.1 test.cfg
Syntax: copy tftp startup-config ip-addr [/from-dir-path] from-name
Copying the running-config to a flash card or a TFTP server
Use the following method to copy the config file on the Brocade device to a flash card or a TFTP
server. The running-config contains currently active configuration information for the device. When
you copy the running-config to a flash card or TFTP server, you are making a copy of the current
configuration, including any configuration changes you have not saved to the startup-config.
