The entire copying process may take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol and from network to network. Understanding Invalid Combinations of Source and Destination Some combinations of source and destination are not valid. Specifically, if the following conditions exist, you can not use the copy command: • If the source file and destination file are defined to be the same. • xmodem cannot be a source and destination for the same copy operation. xmodem can only be copied to image. • tftp cannot be the source and destination for the same copy operation. The following topics contain copy character descriptions. Copying Image File from a Server to Flash Memory Use the copy source-url image command to copy an image file from a server to flash memory Use the boot system command to activate the new image. Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Running Configuration Use the copy source-url running-config command to load a configuration file from a network server to the device running configuration. The configuration is added to the running configuration as if the commands were typed in the command-line interface (CLI). The resulting configuration file is a combination of the previous running configuration and the loaded configuration file, with the loaded configuration file having precedence. Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Startup Configuration Use the copy source-url startup-config command to copy a configuration file from a network server to the device startup configuration. These commands replace the startup configuration file with the copied configuration file. Storing the Running or Startup Configuration on a Server Use the copy running-config destination-url command to copy the current configuration file to a network server using TFTP. Use the copy startup-config destination-url command to copy the startup configuration file to a network server. The configuration file copy can serve as a backup copy. 940
