Using the IPv6 copy command
The copy command for IPv6 allows you to do the following:
• Copy a file from a specified source to an IPv6 TFTP server.
• Copy a file from an IPv6 TFTP server to a specified destination.
Copying a file to an IPv6 TFTP server
You can copy a file from the following sources to an IPv6 TFTP server:
• Flash memory.
• Running configuration.
• Startup configuration.
Copying a file from flash memory
For example, to copy the primary or secondary boot image from the device flash memory to an IPv6
TFTP server, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect# copy flash tftp 2001:7382:e0ff:7837::3 test.img secondary
This command copies the secondary boot image named test.img from flash memory to a TFTP
server with the IPv6 address of 2001:7382:e0ff:7837::3.
Syntax: copy flash tftp ipv6-address source-file-name primary | secondary
• The ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
• The source-file-name parameter specifies the name of the file you want to copy to the IPv6
TFTP server.
• The primary keyword specifies the primary boot image, while the secondary keyword specifies
the secondary boot image.
Copying a file from the running or startup configuration
For example, to copy the running configuration to an IPv6 TFTP server, enter a command such as
the following.
PowerConnect# copy running-config tftp 2001:7382:e0ff:7837::3 newrun.cfg
This command copies the running configuration to a TFTP server with the IPv6 address of
2001:7382:e0ff:7837::3 and names the file on the TFTP server newrun.cfg.
Syntax: copy running-config | startup-config tftp ipv6-address destination-file-name
• Specify the running-config keyword to copy the running configuration file to the specified IPv6
TFTP server.
• Specify the startup-config keyword to copy the startup configuration file to the specified IPv6
TFTP server.
• The tftp ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify
this address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
• The destination-file-name parameter specifies the name of the file that is copied to the IPv6
TFTP server.
