Represents the startup configuration file. Represents the backup configuration file. The image is executable code which is decompressed during system startup, into the switching and routing software that manages the device. There are always two images stored in the device flash known as "image-1" and "image-2". The images do not necessarily have to contain the same versions of the software. One of these images is always marked as active and the other image serves as a back-up. The "active" image is either the last downloaded image or the image configured as the "active" image. The switch boot code first tries to load and run the active image. However, if the active image is found to be corrupt, the boot code tries to load the back-up image. If the back-up image is also corrupt the boot code prompts the user to initiate the X-modem transfer of a valid image through the serial connection. The image file name is in the format 6024_abcd.dos, where abcd represents the release number. Boot file. The name of the image is in the format 6024_boot_abcd.rfb, where abcd represents the release number. Source or destination URL for a TFTP network server. The syntax for this alias is tftp:[[//location]/directory]/filename. Source for the file from a serial connection that uses the Xmodem protocol. Null destination for copies or files. A remote file can be copied to null to determine its size. Default Configuration This command has no default configuration. Command Mode Privileged EXEC mode User Guidelines The location of a file system dictates the format of the source or destination URL. The startup-config and the backup-config files cannot be copied to the running-config file. The entire copying process may take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol and from network to network. While a configuration file is being copied (downloaded or uploaded), the device ignores the user input sent to the device via CLI. Note that this behavior only applies to the session in the context of which the copying is taking place; all other management sessions may experience a delayed responsiveness but accept CLI commands and process HTTP requests. 118 Configuration and Image Files

Configuration and Image Files
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
The following table displays keywords aliases to URL:
Default Configuration
This command has no default configuration.
Command Mode
Privileged
EXEC mode
User Guidelines
The location of a file system dictates the format of the source or destination URL.
The startup-config and the backup-config files cannot be copied to the running-config file.
The entire copying process may take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol and
from network to network. While a configuration file is being copied (downloaded or
uploaded), the device ignores the user input sent to the device via CLI.
Note that this
behavior only applies to the session in the context of which the copying is taking place;
all
other management sessions may experience a delayed responsiveness but
accept CLI
commands and process HTTP requests.
Keyword
Source or destination
running-config
Represents the current running configuration file.
startup-config
Represents the startup configuration file.
backup-config
Represents the backup configuration file.
image
The image is executable code which is decompressed during system startup,
into the switching and routing software that manages the device. There are
always two images stored in the device flash known as "image-1" and "image-2".
The images do not necessarily have to contain the same versions of the software.
One of these images is always marked as active and the other image serves as a
back-up. The "active" image is either the last downloaded image or the image
configured as the "active" image. The switch boot code first tries to load and run
the active image. However, if the active image is found to be corrupt, the boot
code tries to load the back-up image. If the back-up image is also corrupt the
boot code prompts the user to initiate the X-modem transfer of a valid image
through the serial connection. The image file name is in the format
6024_abcd.dos, where abcd represents the release number.
boot
Boot file. The name of the image is in the format 6024_boot_abcd.rfb, where
abcd represents the release number.
tftp:

is
tftp:
[[//
location
