Usage Information

The Dell Networking OS supports a maximum of 100 files, at the root directory level, on both the internal and external Flash.

The usbflash commands are supported. For a list of approved USB vendors, refer to the Dell Networking OS Release Notes.

When copying a file to a remote location (for example, using Secure Copy [SCP]), enter only the keywords and Dell Networking OS prompts you for the rest of the information.

NOTE: Dell Networking OS imposes a length limit on the password you create for performing the secure copy operation. Your password can be no longer than 32 characters.

For example, when using SCP, you can enter the copy running-config scp: command. The 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 and password, and so forth.

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 because the system was started) to the startup configuration file, Dell Networking OS creates a backup file on the internal flash of the startup configuration.

The Dell Networking OS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server or to an FTP server:

copy running-config tftp:
copy running-config ftp:

NOTE: Dell Networking OS imposes a length limit on the password you create for accessing the FTP server. Your password can be no longer than 32 characters.

In the copy scp: flash: example, specifying SCP in the first position indicates that the target to specify in the ensuing prompts. Entering flash: in the second position means that the target is the internal Flash. In this example, the source is on a secure server running SSH, so you are prompted for the UDP port of the SSH server on the remote host.

Example (running-config scp:)

Dell#copy running-config scp:
