Configuring Username and Password Security Saving Security Credentials in a Config File • copy config config : Makes a local copy of an existing startup-config file by copying the contents of the startup-config file in one memory slot to a new startup-config file in another, empty memory slot. • copy config tftp: Uploads a configuration file from the switch to a TFTP server. • copy tftp config: Downloads a configuration file from a TFTP server to the switch. • copy config xmodem: Uploads a configuration file from the switch to an Xmodem host. • copy xmodem config: Downloads a configuration file from an Xmodem host to the switch. For more information, see "Transferring Startup-Config Files To or From a Remote Server" in the Management and Configuration Guide. ■ The switch can store up to three configuration files. Each configuration file contains its own security credentials and these security configurations may differ. It is the responsibility of the system administrator to ensure that the appropriate security credentials are contained in the configuration file that is loaded with each software image and that all security credentials in the file are supported. ■ If you have already enabled the storage of security credentials (including local manager and operator passwords) by entering the includecredentials command, the Reset-on-clear option is disabled. When you press the Clear button on the front panel, the manager and operator usernames and passwords are deleted from the running configuration. However, the switch does not reboot after the local passwords are erased. (The reset-on-clear option normally reboots the switch when you press the Clear button.) For more information about the Reset-on-clear option and other frontpanel security features, see "Configuring Front-Panel Security" on page 2-27 in this guide. 2-20
