TFTP: Copying a Customized Command File to a Switch
Using the copy tftp command with the show-tech option provides the ability to
copy a customized command file to the switch. When the show tech custom
command is executed, the commands in the custom file are executed instead
of the hard-coded list of commands. If no custom file is found, the current
hard-coded list is executed. This list contains commands to display data such
as the image stamp, running configuration, boot history, port settings, and so
on.
Syntax: copy tftp show-tech <ipv4 or ipv6 address> <filename>
Copy a customized command file to the switch.
ProCurve(config)# copy tftp show-tech 10.10.10.3 commandfile1

If no custom file is found, a message displays stating “No SHOW-TECH file
found.”
