This command copies the startup configuration from the device’s flash memory 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 BigIron RX Series system has access. By default, the device uses the startup-config in
the primary area of flash memory to configure itself when you boot or reload the device.
To copy the device’s startup-config from flash memory to a TFTP server, enter a command such as
the following.
BigIron RX# 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 such as the
following.
BigIron RX# 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 BigIron RX Series Switch’s running-config to a flash card or a
TFTP server. The running-config contains the device’s currently active configuration information.
When you copy the running-config to a flash card or TFTP server, you are making a copy of the
device’s current configuration, including any configuration changes you have not saved to the
startup-config.
To copy the device’s running configuration into a file on a flash card, enter a command such as the
following.
BigIron RX# copy running-config slot1 runip.1
Syntax: copy running-config slot1 | slot2 [/<to-dir-path>/]<to-name>
To copy the device’s running configuration into a file on a TFTP server, enter a command such as
the following.
BigIron RX# copy running-config tftp 10.10.10.1 runip.1
Loading a running-config from a flash card or a TFTP server
Use the following method to load configuration commands into the BigIron RX Series Switch’s
active configuration.
NOTE
A configuration file that you create must follow the same syntax rules as the startup-config the
device creates. Refer to the “Upgrading Software Images and Configuration Files” chapter in the
Brocade BigIron RX Series Hardware Installation Guide for additional information.
To copy a running-config from a flash card, enter a command such as the following.
