Storing the Running or Startup Configuration on a Server

Use the copy running-config destination-url command to copy the current configuration file
to a network server using TFTP. Use the copy startup-config destination-url command to
copy the startup configuration file to a network server.

The configuration file copy can serve as a backup copy.

Saving the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration

Use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy the running configuration to
the startup configuration.

Backing up the Running Configuration or Startup Configuration to the Backup Configuration

Use the copy running-config backup-config command to back up the running configuration
to the backup configuration file. Use the copy startup-config backup-config command to
back up the startup configuration to the backup configuration file.

Copying to a Unit on the Stack Using unit

The copy command can be used to copy an image to another unit. This means that a copy
command allows the management node to distribute its existing code to other nodes. The
command syntax is copy image unit {all | <1-12>}

NOTE:

The copy command can accept the unit {all | <1-12>} only as the destination-url. In this case, only

image can be the source-url.

NOTE:

Note that the copy image unit all command does not copy the active image to the backup image on

the management unit, just the stack units.

The copy command can not:

Either download code from tftp, for example, to the stack units directly, or

Copy code from one stack unit to another stack unit.

For copying to all units simultaneously, use the keyword all.

Example

The following example copies a system image named file1 from the TFTP server with an IP
address of 172.16.101.101 to a non active image file in flash memory.
