TFTP allows you to transfer files between a TFTP server and the following switch
storage areas: local file system, internal memory card, compact flash card, and USB 2.0
storage device.
-
Download a file from a TFTP server to the switch, using
the tftp or tftp get commands.
tftp [ ip-address | host-name ] { -v
vr_name } [ -g ] [ { -l
local-file | } { -r
remote-file } | { -r
remote-file } { -l
local-file } ]
tftp get [ ip-address | host-name] { vr
vr_name } remote-file {local-file} {force-overwrite}
Note
By default, if you
transfer a file with a name that already exists on the system, the switch prompts you to
overwrite the existing file. For more information, see the
tftp get command.
-
Download a file from a universal resource locator (URL), using the following
command:
download [url
url {vr
vrname} | image [active | inactive] [[hostname | ipaddress] filename {{vr} vrname} {block-size
block_size}] {partition} {install {reboot}}
The download url command
supports the following file types: cfg, lic, lst, pol, py, voss, xmod, xos, xsf, and xtr.
The download image commands supports the following file types:
voss, xmod, xos, and
xtr.
-
To upload a file from the switch to a TFTP server, use the
tftp or tftp put commands:
tftp [ ip-address | host-name ] { -v
vr_name } [ -p ] [ { -l
local-file | } { -r
remote-file } | { -r
remote-file } { -l
local-file } ]
tftp put [ ip-address | host-name] {vr
vr_name} local-file { remote-file}
