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 need 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, 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
or to an FTP server. For example:
• copy running-config tftp:
• copy running-config ftp:
