operations. The new username is stored in NVRAM. If you are accessing the switch through a Telnet 
session and you have a valid username, this username is used, and there is no need to set the RCP 
username. Include the username in the archive download-sw or archive upload-sw privileged 
EXEC command if you want to specify a username only for that operation. 

When you upload an image to the RCP to the server, it must be properly configured to accept the 
RCP write request from the user on the switch. For UNIX systems, you must add an entry to the 
.rhosts file for the remote user on the RCP server.

For example, suppose the switch contains these configuration lines:

hostname Switch1

ip rcmd remote-username User0

If the switch IP address translates to Switch1.company.com, the .rhosts file for User0 on the RCP 
server should contain this line:

Switch1.company.com Switch1

For more information, see the documentation for your RCP server.

You can download a new image file and replace or keep the current image. 

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow Steps 1 through 6 to download a new image from an RCP 
server and overwrite the existing image. To keep the current image, go to Step 6.

Verify that the RCP server is properly configured by 
referring to the

Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet 
session.

Enter global configuration mode.

This step is required only if you override the default remote 
username (see Steps 4 and 5). 

ip rcmd remote-username username

(Optional) Specify the remote username.

Return to privileged EXEC mode.
