Chapter 29 Working with System Software Images Uploading System Software Images to an rcp Server Uploading System Software Images to an rcp Server These sections describe how to upload system software images from a switch to an rcp server: • Preparing to Upload an Image to an rcp Server, page 29-9 • Uploading Software Images to an rcp Server, page 29-9 Note For more information on working with system software image files on the Flash file system, see Chapter 30, "Using the Flash File System." Preparing to Upload an Image to an rcp Server Before you attempt to upload a software image to an rcp server, do the following: • Ensure that the workstation acting as the rcp server is configured properly. • Ensure that the switch has a route to the rcp server. The switch and the rcp server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Check connectivity to the rcp server using the ping command. • If you are overwriting an existing file (including an empty file, if you had to create one), ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be write for the specific username. Uploading Software Images to an rcp Server Use this procedure to upload a software image on a switch to an rcp server for storage: Step 1 Step 2 Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session. Upload the software image to the rcp server using the copy flash rcp command. When prompted, specify the rcp server address, and destination filename. On platforms that support the Flash file systems, you are first prompted for the Flash device and source filename, If desired, you can use the copy file-id rcp command on these platforms. The software image is uploaded to the rcp server. This example shows how to upload the supervisor engine software image to an rcp server: Console> (enable) copy flash rcp Flash device [bootflash]? bootflash: Name of file to copy from []? cat4000.6-1-1.bin IP address or name of remote host [172.20.52.3]? 172.20.52.10 Name of file to copy to [cat4000.6-1-1.bin]?
