Loading using Secure Copy

Secure Copy (SCP) provides a secure way to copy files onto the router or
switch from a remote machine. Files can be loaded onto the router or switch,
either:

■

locally, by using the router or switch’s CLI. This uses the SSH client on the
router or switch.

■

remotely, by using a suitable client on a remote device and the SSH server
on the router or switch.

Secure Copy connections cannot load to the bootblock.

Loading Files to the Switch

The router or switch can load files from a remote server using SCP. To do this,
do both of the following:

■

Check the server is running SCP and set a username.

■

Set either a password or RSA keyid on the server to authenticate the user. If
using RSA authentication, set the public key onto the server.
