File Transfers
Transferring ACL Command Files

where:

< filename.txt > = A text file containing ACL commands

and stored in the USB flash drive.

< unix | pc > = The type of workstation used to create the

text file.

This command copies and executes the named text file from a
USB flash drive 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 USB flash drive.

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 usb command-file 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 in the tftp example
shown in Figure A-12 on page A-33), and continues to implement the remaining
ACL commands in the file.
