Cisco Systems 3200 User Manual

For the local flash file system, the syntax is

 

For the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the syntax is 
ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar

For the Remote Copy Protocol (RCP), the syntax is 
rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar

For the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), the syntax is 
tftp:[[//location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar

The tar-filename.tar is the tar file from which to extract files.

For flash:/file-url, specify the location on the local flash file system into which the tar file is extracted. 
You can also specify an optional list of files or directories within the tar file for extraction. If none are 
specified, all files and directories are extracted.

This example shows how to extract the contents of a tar file located on the TFTP server at 172.20.10.30. 
This command extracts just the new-configs directory into the root directory on the local flash file 
system. The remaining files in the saved.tar file are ignored.

bridge# archive tar /xtract tftp://172.20.10.30/saved.tar flash:/new-configs

To display the contents of any readable file, including a file on a remote file system, use the more [/ascii 
| /binary | /ebcdic] file-url privileged EXEC command: 

This example shows how to display the contents of a configuration file on a TFTP server:

This section describes how to create, load, and maintain configuration files. Configuration files contain 
commands entered to customize the function of the Cisco IOS software. To better benefit from these 
instructions, your WMIC contains a minimal default running configuration for interacting with the 
system software. 

You can copy (download) configuration files from a TFTP, FTP, or RCP server to the running 
configuration of the WMIC for various reasons:

To restore a backed-up configuration file.

To use the configuration file for another bridge. For example, you might add another bridge to your 
network and want it to have a configuration similar to the original bridge. By copying the file to the 
new bridge, you can change the relevant parts rather than recreating the whole file.
