Note that the switch always acts as a client, such that an ftp/scp/tftp session will always originate from the switch and either push files to an external system or pull files from an external system. File Server: 172.22.36.10 File to be copied to the switch: /etc/hosts The copy CLI command supports four transfer protocols and 12 different sources for files. ca-9506# copy ? bootflash: Select source filesystem core: Select source filesystem debug: Select source filesystem ftp: Select source filesystem licenses Backup license files log: Select source filesystem modflash: Select source filesystem nvram: Select source filesystem running-config Copy running configuration to destination scp: Select source filesystem sftp: Select source filesystem slot0: Select source filesystem startup-config Copy startup configuration to destination system: Select source filesystem tftp: Select source filesystem volatile: Select source filesystem Use the following syntax to use secure copy (scp) as the transfer mechanism: "scp:[//[username@]server][/path]" To copy /etc/hosts from 172.22.36.10 using the user user1, where the destination would be hosts.txt, use the following command: switch# copy scp://[email protected]/etc/hosts bootflash:hosts.txt [email protected]'s password: hosts 100 2035 00:00 To back up the startup-configuration to a sftp server, use the following command: switch# copy startup-config sftp://[email protected]/MDS/startup-configuration.bak1 Connecting to 172.22.36.10... [email protected]'s password: switch# Tip Backing up the startup-configuration to a server should be done on a daily basis and prior to any changes. A short script could be written to be run on the MDS to perform a save and then backup of the configuration. The script only needs to contain two commands: copy running-configuration startup-configuration and then copy startup-configuration tftp://server/name. To execute the script use: run-script filename.
