Managing Files by Using the USB Flash Drive

In this example, the administrator copies the backup image to a USB flash

drive before overwriting the backup image on the switch with a new image.

The administrator also makes a backup copy of the running-config by

uploading it to a USB flash drive. After the backups are performed, the

administrator downloads a new image from the USB flash drive to the switch

to prepare for the upgrade.

This example assumes the new image is named new_img.stk and has already

been copied from an administrative host onto the USB flash drive.

To configure the switch:

Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the front panel of the

switch. The USB flash drive is automatically mounted.

Copy the backup image from the switch to the USB flash drive.

console#copy backup usb://img_backup.stk
