M4300 - want to save config from cli (tftp)
Hello,
i want to save the configs of some M4300-48XF with Software Version 12.0.17 to our tftp-server, or other Datastore.
The command #copy system:running-config only allowed me to copy to nvram
#copy system:running-config ?
nvram:factory-defaults Save the running configuration to factory-defaults in NVRAM.
nvram:startup-config Save the running configuration to NVRAM.
I saw tftp mentioned in manuals of other switch series but M4300.
Can anyone enlighten me, how to export my configs to some external Datastore?
I would also accept scp, sftp or anything else...
Thanks.
regards

Hi
I remember a couple of years ago, where that got me confused to at first so don't worry 🙂
Only nvram:startup-config can be copied to TFTP, SCP or even local USB memory. Therefore if you have made changes to the system:running-config, there is no way around first storing the running-config to nvram:startup-config first, then you can upload a config to i.e. a TFTP server.

Hello msi,
thanks for your reply.
You are right, i learned that i can not simply copy "something" to external storage, but only nvram:startup-config.
It took me some time to understand where the problem was. The manual was not that source of enlightment.
