Command
1. Verify that the RCP server is properly configured by
referring to the Preparing to Download or Upload a
Configuration File By Using RCP, page
2. Log into the switch through the console port or a
Telnet session.
3. configure terminal
4. ip rcmd remote-username username
5. end
6. copy
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
system:running-config
or
copy
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]
nvram:startup-config
This example shows how to copy a configuration file named host1-confg from the netadmin1 directory on the remote
server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 and load and run those commands on the switch:
Switch# copy rcp://netadmin1@172.16.101.101/host1-confg system:running-config
Configure using host1-confg from 172.16.101.101? [confirm]
Connected to 172.16.101.101
Loading 1112 byte file host1-confg:![OK]
Switch#
%SYS-5-CONFIG: Configured from host1-config by rcp from 172.16.101.101
This example shows how to specify a remote username of netadmin1. Then it copies the configuration file host2-confg
from the netadmin1 directory on the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 to the startup configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# ip rcmd remote-username netadmin1
Switch(config)# end
Switch# copy rcp: nvram:startup-config
Address of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 172.16.101.101
Name of configuration file[rtr2-confg]? host2-confg
Configure using host2-confg from 172.16.101.101?[confirm]
Connected to 172.16.101.101
Loading 1112 byte file host2-confg:![OK]
[OK]
Switch#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_NV:Non-volatile store configured from host2-config by rcp from 172.16.101.101
