Loading and saving configuration files with IPv6

This section describes the IPv6 copy command.

Using the IPv6 copy command

The copy command for IPv6 allows you to do the following:

• Copy a file from a specified source to an IPv6 TFTP server
• Copy a file from an IPv6 TFTP server to a specified destination

Copying a file to an IPv6 TFTP server

You can copy a file from the following sources to an IPv6 TFTP server:

• Flash memory
• Running configuration
• Startup configuration

Copying a file from flash memory

For example, to copy the primary or secondary boot image from the device flash memory to an IPv6
TFTP server, enter a command such as the following.

device#copy flash tftp 2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 test.img secondary

This command copies the secondary boot image named test.img from flash memory to a TFTP server
with the IPv6 address of 2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3.

Syntax: copy flash tftp ipv6-address source-file-name primary | secondary

The ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify this address
in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.

The source-file-name parameter specifies the name of the file you want to copy to the IPv6 TFTP
server.

The primary keyword specifies the primary boot image, while the secondary keyword specifies the
secondary boot image.

Copying a file from the running or startup configuration

For example, to copy the running configuration to an IPv6 TFTP server, enter a command such as the
following.

device#copy running-config tftp 2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 newrun.cfg

This command copies the running configuration to a TFTP server with the IPv6 address of
2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 and names the file on the TFTP server newrun.cfg.

Syntax: copy running-config | startup-config tftp ipv6-address destination-file-name

Specify the running-config keyword to copy the running configuration file to the specified IPv6 TFTP
server.
