Users Guide

SCP, you can enter copy running-config scp: where running-config is the source and the
target is specified in the ensuing prompts. Dell Networking OS prompts you to enter any required
information, as needed for the named destination — remote destination, destination filename, user ID,
password, etc.
When you use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy the running
configuration (the startup configuration file amended by any configuration changes made since the
system was started) to the startup configuration file, Dell Networking OS creates a backup file on the
internal flash of the startup configuration.
Dell Networking OS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server, an FTP server, or a
remote NFS file system. For example:
● copy running-config tftp:
● copy running-config ftp:
● copy running-config nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath
You can compress the running configuration by grouping all the VLANs and the physical interfaces with
the same property. Support to store the operating configuration to the startup config in the compressed
mode and to perform an image downgrade without any configuration loss are provided.
Two existing exec mode CLIs, show running-config compressed and write memory
compressed are enhanced to display and store the running configuration in the compressed mode.
From the PE console, you can copy a file to another location using the copy flash: source-
filename destination-filename. Similarly, you can use the copy usbflash: source-
filename destination-filename command to copy a file from the external USB flash to another
location.
Example
In the following copy scp: flash: example, SCP in the first position indicates that the target is to be
specified in the ensuing prompts. Entering flash: in the second position indicates that the target is the
internal Flash. The source is on a secure server running SSH, so you are prompted for the user datagram
protocol (UDP) port of the SSH server on the remote host.
