Preventive Maintenance Chapter A Troubleshooting • current-config-The current running configuration. The configuration becomes persistent as the commands are entered. • backup-config-The storage location for the configuration backup. The exact format of the source and destination URLs varies according to the file. Here are the valid types: • ftp:-Source or destination URL for an FTP network server. The syntax for this prefix is: ftp:[//[username@] location]/relativeDirectory]/filename ftp:[//[username@]location]//absoluteDirectory]/filename • scp:-Source or destination URL for the SCP network server. The syntax for this prefix is: scp:[//[username@] location]/relativeDirectory]/filename scp:[//[username@] location]//absoluteDirectory]/filename Note If you use FTP or SCP protocol, you are prompted for a password. If you use SCP protocol, you must also add the remote host to the SSH known hosts list. • http:-Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is: http:[[/[username@]location]/directory]/filename • https:-Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is: https:[[/[username@]location]/directory]/filename Note HTTP and HTTPS prompt for a password if a username is required to access the website. If you use HTTPS protocol, the remote host must be a TLS trusted host.
