File Transfers
Transferring ACL Command Files
where:
< ip-addr > = The IP address of a TFTP server available
to the switch
< filename.txt > = A text file containing ACL commands
and stored in the TFTP directory of
the server identified by
< ip-addr >
< unix | pc > = The type of workstation used for serial,
Telnet, or SSH access to the switch CLI
This command copies and executes the named text file from
the specified TFTP server address and executes the ACL
commands in the file. Depending on the ACL commands used,
this action does one of the following in the running-config file:
■ Creates a new ACL.
■ Replaces an existing ACL. (Refer to “Creating an ACL
Offline” in the “Access Control Lists (ACLs)” chapter in
the latest
Access Security Guide for your switch.)
■ Adds to an existing ACL.
For example, suppose you:
1. Created an ACL command file named vlan10_in.txt to update an existing
ACL.
2. Copied the file to a TFTP server at 18.38.124.16.
Using a PC workstation, you then execute the following from the CLI to upload
the file to the switch and implement the ACL commands it contains:
ProCurve(config)# copy tftp command-file 18.38.124.16
vlan10_in.txt pc
The switch displays this message:
Running configuration may change, do you want to continue
[y/n]?
To continue with the upload, press the [Y] key. To abort the upload, press the
[N] key. Note that if the switch detects an illegal (non-ACL) command in the
file, it bypasses the illegal command, displays a notice as shown in figure A­
12, and continues to implement the remaining ACL commands in the file.
