Version Description
E-Series Original command.
Usage Information
Dell Networking OS supports a maximum of 100 les at the root directory level on both the internal and external
ash.
When copying a le to a remote location (for example, using Secure Copy [SCP]), enter only the keywords and Dell
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 specied in the ensuing
prompts. Dell Networking OS prompts you to enter any required information for the named destination — remote
destination, destination lename, user ID, password, and so forth.
When you use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy the running conguration to
the startup conguration le, Dell Networking OS creates a backup le on the internal ash of the startup
conguration.
When you load the startup conguration or a conguration le from a network server such as TFTP to the running
conguration, the conguration is added to the running conguration. This does not replace the existing running
conguration. Commands in the conguration le has precedence over commands in the running conguration.
Dell Networking OS supports copying the running-conguration to a TFTP server, an FTP server, or a remote NFS
le system. For example:
• copy running-config tftp:
• copy running-config ftp:
• copy running-config nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath
You can compress the running conguration by grouping all the VLANs and the physical interfaces with the same
property. You can store the operating conguration to the startup cong in Compressed mode and perform an
image downgrade without any conguration loss.
Example
Dell#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:

In this copy scp: flash: example, specifying SCP in the rst position indicates that you need to specify the
target in the ensuing prompts. Entering flash: in the second position indicates that the target is the internal
ash. The source is on a secure server running secure shell (SSH), so you are prompted for the user datagram
protocol (UDP) port of the SSH server on the remote host.
Example
Dell# copy running-config nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath
Destination file name [test.txt]:
User name to login remote host: usrname
Password to login remote host:

Example
Dell# copy scp: flash:
Address or name of remote host []: 10.11.199.134
Port number of the server [22]: 99
