Working with Configuration Files

Uploading a Configuration File By Using RCP

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to upload a configuration file by using RCP:

This example shows how to copy the running configuration file named switch2-confg to the netadmin1
directory on the remote host with an IP address of 172.16.101.101:

Switch# copy system:running-config rcp://netadmin1@172.16.101.101/switch2-confg

Write file switch-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]

Building configuration...[OK]

Connected to 172.16.101.101

Switch#

This example shows how to store a startup configuration file on a server:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip rcmd remote-username netadmin2

Switch(config)# end

Switch# copy nvram:startup-config rcp:

Remote host[]? 172.16.101.101

Name of configuration file to write [switch2-confg]?

Write file switch2-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]

![OK]

Command

Purpose

Step 1

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

“Preparing to Download or Upload a

Configuration File By Using RCP” section on page B-16

Step 2

Log into the switch through a Telnet session.

Step 3

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

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

Step 4

ip rcmd remote-username username

(Optional) Specify the remote username.

Step 5

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

copy system:running-config
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]

copy nvram:startup-config
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]

Using RCP, copy the configuration file from a switch running
or startup configuration file to a network server.
