Using TFTP To Transfer Operating
Code, Configuration, and NCL
Display
The NCL Fget command and the workstation-generated TFTP Put
command provide two ways to load the router’s operating system or
configuration. That is, these two commands can be used to copy the
operating system or configuration to a host for storage and later
downloading to the router. Also, you can use the NCL Fput command to
redirect the output of any NCL command that displays data on the
console screen to a file on another host or to an HP Router CR. These
network transfers operate over any of the router’s network interfaces.
