Setup Guide
Before executing any CLI command to perform le operations, you must rst mount the NFS le system to a mount-point on the device.
Since multiple mount-points exist on a device, it is mandatory to specify the mount-point to which you want to load the system.
The /f10/mnt/nfs directory is the root of all mount-points.
To mount an NFS le system, perform the following steps:
Table 4. Mounting an NFS File System
File Operation Syntax
To mount an NFS le system:
mount nfs rhost:path mount-
point username password
The foreign le system remains mounted as long as the device is up and does not reboot. You can run the le system commands without
having to mount or un-mount the le system each time you run a command. When you save the conguration using the write command,
the mount command is saved to the startup conguration. As a result, each time the device re-boots, the NFS le system is mounted
during start up.
Table 5. Forming a copy Command
Location
source-le-url

Syntax
For a remote le location:
NFS File System
copy nfsmount://{<mount-
point>}/filepath/filename}
username:password
tftp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
Important Points to Remember
• You cannot copy a le from one remote system to another.
• You cannot copy a le from one location to the same location.
• When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a domain name server (DNS) server is congured.
