How to save configuration files from Switch to tftp Server
Hi there!
i want to copy running config/startup config from the switch 8164 to TFTP server.
On the workstation, i'm using Cisco TFTP which works fine for copying files beetwen cisco devices,
but i don't know what is the right commad from dell switches.
It says that need path to tftp folder, but i've tried and failed with this syntax:
copy start tftp:/192.168.1.14/c:/backup.txt
let me know.
Regards!

The image file should be .stk.
console#copy image tftp://192.168.1.14/image1.stk

You should have not issues saving as a .txt
copy startup-config tftp://192.168.1.14/startup.txt
copy running-config tftp://192.168.1.14/running.txt

Files can be uploaded from the Dell PowerConnect switch to the TFTP server. Both running and startup configuration can be backed up to TFTP server using the copy running-config and copy startup-config commands.
copy startup-config tftp://192.168.1.14/startup.bak
copy running-config tftp://192.168.1.14/running.bak
The above examples would copy the existing startup-configuration and running-configuration files to a TFTP server with the IP address 192.168.1.14. The files would be saved on the TFTP server with the filenames “startup.bak” and “running.bak” in whatever directory the TFTP server has designated as the TFTP root.
On the 8100 switches we may also need to specify {active | backup} at the end of the command.

The images should just be labeled image1 and image2. You can check by running
#show version
And also check the directory
#show dir

For switched PC5524, i've seen this on the user guide book:
Table 8-76. File Upload CLI Commands
CLI Command Description
copy source-url destination-url Copies any file from a source to a
destination.
console# copy image tftp://10.6.6.64/uploaded.ros
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Copy: 4234656 bytes copied in 00:00:33 [hh:mm:ss]
01-Jan-2000 07:30:42 %COPY-W-TRAP:
The copy operation was completed successfully
WHY THE EXTENSION IS .ROS?

Different model switches have different file types. If you download the firmware for the specific switch you will see the different file types.
55xx=.ROS
28xx=.ROS
62xx=.STK
70xx=.STK
81xx=.STK

Good afternoon.
I would like to run a script that would copy my run-config to a TFTP server.
I need to do is set this up so it can run unattended via Cron or another process available in Dell Switches.
Are any process to run that copy command once a day?
Thanks in advance.

The newer N-series switches offer some Python scripting, the issue is with the scheduling. The switch is able to set the script to run on a select few triggers, such as on boot. But I have not seen anything that would let you schedule a specific time.

I was able to successfully use a VBScript to open putty, initiate an SSH connection, log into a switch and then run any command you want.

The same results can be achieved on a Linux box using expect.

hope this helps.

Someone from the SpiceWorks community just posted up this PowerShell script that may be useful.
