Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
• The internal flash memories on the RPMs are synchronized whenever there is a change, but only if
both RPMs are running the same version of FTOS.
• When copying to a server, a hostname can only be used if a DNS server is configured.
•The usbflash and rpm0usbflash commands are supported on E-Series ExaScale platform only.
Refer to the FTOS Release Notes for a list of approved USB vendors.

Save the Running-configuration
The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Force10 recommends that you copy
your running-configuration to the startup-configuration. The system uses the startup-configuration during
boot-up to configure the system. The startup-configuration is stored in the internal flash on the primary
RPM by default, but it can be saved onto an external flash (on an RPM) or a remote server.
To save the running-configuration:
Note: The commands in this section follow the same format as those in Copy Files to and from the
System on page 18 but use the filenames startup-configuration and running-configuration. These
commands assume that current directory is the internal flash, which is the system default.
