Administrator Guide

When you load the startup configuration or a configuration file from a network server such as TFTP to
the running configuration, the configuration is added to the running configuration. This does not replace
the existing running configuration. Commands in the configuration file has precedence over commands in
the running configuration.
Dell EMC 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. You can store the operating configuration to the startup config in Compressed mode
and perform an image downgrade without any configuration loss.
Example
DellEMC#copy running-config scp:
Address or name of remote host []: 192.168.1.1
Port number of the server [22]: 22
Destination file name [startup-config]:
User name to login remote host: username
Password to login remote host:

In this copy scp: flash: example, specifying SCP in the first position indicates that you need to
specify the target 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 secure shell (SSH), so you are
prompted for the user datagram protocol (UDP) port of the SSH server on the remote host.
Example
DellEMC# copy running-config nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath
Destination file name [test.txt]:
User name to login remote host: usrname
Password to login remote host:
