Usage
Information
Dell Networking OS supports a maximum of 100 files at the root directory level on both the internal and
external flash.
When copying a file to a remote location (for example, using Secure Copy [SCP]), enter only the
keywords and Dell Networking OS prompts you for the rest of the information. For example, when
using 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 for the named destination — remote destination, destination filename, user ID, password, and
so forth.
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. You can store the operating configuration to the startup config in Compressed mode
and perform an image downgrade without any configuration loss.
Example
Dell#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
Dell# copy running-config nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath
Destination file name [test.txt]:
User name to login remote host: usrname
Password to login remote host:

Example
