File Transfers
Transferring Switch Configurations
For example, to copy a configuration file from a PC serially connected to the
switch:
1. Execute the following command:
2. After you see the above prompt, press [Enter].
3. Execute the terminal emulator commands to begin the file transfer.
4. When the download finishes, you must reboot the switch to implement
the newly downloaded software. To do so, use one of the following
commands:
Syntax: boot system flash [ primary | secondary ]
boot system flash [ config < filename >
Switches boot from the designated configuration file. For more
on multiple configuration files, refer to “Multiple
Configuration Files” on page 6-27.
Syntax:
reload
Reboots from the flash image currently in use.
(For more on these commands, refer to “Rebooting the Switch” on page
6-19.)
USB: Copying a Configuration File to a USB Device
To use this method, a USB flash memory device must be connected to the
switch’s USB port.
Syntax: copy startup-config usb < filename>
copy running-config usb < filename >
Uses the USB port to copy a designated configuration file from
the switch to a USB flash memory device. For more on multiple
configuration files, refer to “Multiple Configuration Files” on
page 6-27.
For example, to copy the startup configuration file to a USB flash drive:
1. Insert a USB device into the switch’s USB port.
