Using the USB port and USB flash drive

copy flash usb1 primary /abc/dir1/my_file

Syntax: copy flash <destination-usb> primary|secondary <dest-full-path>

The copy command copies the specified file.

Flash specifies that the file resides in ServerIron ADX code flash.

The <destination-usb> variable specifies the USB drive that the file will be copied to. The value can

be either usb0 (the internal USB drive) or usb1 (a USB drive attached to the USB port on the

ServerIron ADX).

Use primary or secondary when copying from a USB drive to flash. Copying to flash is restricted and

allows image file names “primary” and “secondary”. All files are located at the root level in code

flash.

The <dest-full-path> variable specifies the full directory path and name of the file that you are

copying to on the USB drive.

Following are examples of copying files from a USB drive to code flash:

• Use the following command to copy the file named “asm12000.bin” from the root-level of a

drive attached to the USB port (usb1) on the ServerIron ADX to the secondary code file in code

flash on the ServerIron ADX switch.

ServerIronADX# copy usb1 flash asm12000.bin secondary

• Use the following command to copy the file named “filexxx.bin” from the second-level directory

“dir2” on a USB drive attached to the USB port (usb1) on the ServerIron ADX to the secondary

code file in code flash on the ServerIron ADX.

ServerIronADX# copy usb1 flash /dir1/dir2/filexxx.bin secondary

Syntax: copy <source-usb> flash <src-full-path> primary|secondary

The copy command copies the specified file.

The <source-usb> variable specifies the USB drive that the file will be copied from. The value can

be either usb0 (the internal USB drive) or usb1 (a USB drive attached to the USB port on the

ServerIron ADX).

Flash specifies that the file resides on ServerIron ADX code flash.

The <src-full-path> variable specifies the full directory path and name of the file that you want to

copy from the USB drive.

Use primary or secondary when copying from a USB drive to flash. Copying to flash is restricted and

allows image file names “primary” and “secondary”. All files are located at the root level in code

flash.

Copying files between USB drives

Following are examples of using the copy command to copy files from a USB drive to another USB

drive and copying files on a USB drive to another file on the same USB drive.

• Use the following command to copy the file named “asm12000.bin” on the root level of the

Internal USB drive (usb0) to a file of the same name on the root level of a USB drive attached to

the USB port (usb1) on a ServerIron ADX switch.

ServerIronADX# copy usb0 usb1 asm12000.bin asm12000.bin
