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 (the startup conguration le amended by any conguration changes made since the system
was started) to the startup conguration le, Dell Networking OS creates a backup le on the internal ash
of the startup 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 []: 10.10.10.1
Destination file name [startup-config]? old_running
User name to login remote host? sburgess
Password to login remote host? dilling
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
Source file name []: test.cfg
User name to login remote host: admin
Password to login remote host:
Destination file name [test.cfg]: test1.cfg
