Important Points to Remember

• You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.

• You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.

• The internal flash memories on the route processor modules (RPMs) are synchronized whenever there

is a change, but only if both RPMs are running the same version of Dell Networking OS.

• When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a domain name server (DNS) server is

configured.

• The usbflash command is supported on S6000. Refer to your system’s Release Notes for a list of

approved USB vendors.

Save the Running-Configuration

The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Dell Networking recommends

coping your running-configuration to the startup-configuration.

The system uses the startup-configuration during boot-up to configure the system. The startup-

configuration is stored in the internal flash on the primary RPM by default, but it can be saved onto an

external flash (on an RPM) or a remote server.

The commands in this section follow the same format as those commands in the Copy Files to and from

the System section but use the filenames startup-configuration and running-configuration. These

commands assume that current directory is the internal flash, which is the system default.

• Save the running-configuration to the startup-configuration on the internal flash of the primary RPM.

EXEC Privilege mode

copy running-config startup-config

• Save the running-configuration to the internal flash on an RPM.

EXEC Privilege mode

copy running-config rpm{0|1}flash://filename

NOTE: The internal flash memories on the RPMs are synchronized whenever there is a change,

but only if the RPMs are running the same version of Dell Networking OS.
