User Guidelines
The location of a file system dictates the format of the source or destination URL.
The startup-config and the backup-config files cannot be copied to the running-config file.
The entire copying process may take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol and from
network to network.
Filenames cannot be a substring of "startup-config" or "running-config". e.g. the following filenames are
not allowed: "s", "st", "sta".
File download from a TFTP server may take a long time, and therefore fail, if there are many Quality of
Service elements (ACLs, policers, etc.) present. In this case, it is recommended to copy the TFTP file to
the backup configuration file, and then copy the backup file to the running / startup configuration file.
When using tftp to copy files, it is recommended to set the tftp server timeout to 10-20 second.
The device does not accept new commands while files are being copied; however, the user does not
receive notification that the device is busy copying, and will “ignore” the command. Note that this
behavior occurs only at the session, which initiated the copy command; response to activity on other
management sessions will result in a delay, but will not be ignored.
When a file is copied to the running configuration file or to the startup configuration file, the data in the file
is checked. If the check fails, the file is not downloaded, and the user is notified of the error. However, the
user should use caution when copying a file from a TFTP server to the backup configuration file, because
there is no check of data.An attempt to display the corrupted backup configuration file (show backup) will
result in information which is meaningless to the user (or even a blank row).
