• The entire copying process may take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol
and from network to network.

be copied:
• If the source file and destination file are the same file.
•

•
tftp cannot be the source and destination on the same copy.
• Active Image is the image the system currently boots from (see "show bootvar"
command) or set to boot next from. Non active image is the spare image location.
