150 SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual
Parameters
active Specifies information from the active configuration database (the running
system configuration).
scratchpad Specifies configuration changes from the scratchpad.
tftp-server Downloads or uploads a file on a TFTP server.
rcp-server Downloads or uploads a file on an RCP server.
startup Copies the Startup configuration information stored in the Control
Module’s NVRAM.
<filename> Specifies the name of a file on the SSR’s local file system (NVRAM or
PCMCIA card).
<url> Specifies a URL. You can specify one of the following types of URLs:
tftp For example, tftp://<hostname>/<path>
rcp For example, rcp://<username>@<hostname>/<path>
backup-CM Specifies that the startup configuration be copied to the secondary Control
Module. You can specify the backup-CM parameter only as the destination
and only with startup as the source. When startup is the destination,
information is copied to the secondary Control Module as well.
Restrictions
The SSR does not allow some combinations of source and destination pair. Typically, you
cannot have the same location for both source and destination; for example, you cannot
copy from one TFTP server directly to another TFTP server or copy from scratchpad to
scratchpad.
In addition, you cannot copy directly into the active configuration from anywhere except
the scratchpad. All changes to the running system must come through the scratchpad.
Examples
To copy configuration information from the scratchpad to the active database, enter the
following command. This command activates all the uncommitted changes, thus
immediately placing the changes into effect.
ssr# copy scratchpad to active
