Usage
Information
Dell EMC Networking OS supports a maximum of 100 files at the root directory level on both the internal
and external flash.
When copying a file to a remote location (for example, using Secure Copy [SCP]), enter only the
keywords and Dell EMC Networking OS prompts you for the rest of the information. For example, when
using SCP, you can enter copy running-config scp: where running-config is the source
and the target is specified in the ensuing prompts. Dell EMC Networking OS prompts you to enter
any required information for the named destination — remote destination, destination filename, user ID,
password, and so forth.
When you use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy the running
configuration to the startup configuration file, Dell EMC Networking OS creates a backup file on the
internal flash of the startup configuration.
When you load the startup configuration or a configuration file from a network server such as TFTP to
the running configuration, the configuration is added to the running configuration. This does not replace
the existing running configuration. Commands in the configuration file has precedence over commands in
the running configuration.
Dell EMC Networking OS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server, an FTP server, or
a remote NFS file system. For example:
● copy running-config tftp:
● copy running-config ftp:
● copy running-config nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath
You can compress the running configuration by grouping all the VLANs and the physical interfaces with
the same property. You can store the operating configuration to the startup config in Compressed mode
and perform an image downgrade without any configuration loss.
Example
DellEMC#copy running-config scp:
Address or name of remote host []: 192.168.1.1
Port number of the server [22]: 22
Destination file name [startup-config]:
User name to login remote host: username
Password to login remote host:
