Copying a configuration file to or from a TFTP server
To copy the startup-config or running-config file to or from a TFTP server, use the following method.
NOTE
You can name the configuration file when you copy it to a TFTP server. However, when you copy a configuration file from the server to a
Ruckus device, the file is always copied as "startup-config" or "running-config", depending on which type of file you saved to the server.
To initiate transfers of configuration files to or from a TFTP server using the CLI, enter one of the following commands:
- copy startup-config tftp tftp-ip-addr filename - Use this command to upload a copy of the startup configuration file from the Layer 2 Switch or Layer 3 Switch to a TFTP server.
- copy running-config tftp tftp-ip-addr filename - Use this command to upload a copy of the running configuration file from the Layer 2 Switch or Layer 3 Switch to a TFTP server.
- copy tftp startup-config tftp-ip-addr filename - Use this command to download a copy of the startup configuration file from a TFTP server to a Layer 2 Switch or Layer 3 Switch.
NOTE
It is recommended to use a script or the
copy running-config tftp
command for extensive configuration. You should not copy-paste configuration with more than 2000 characters into CLI.
