show startup-configuration

copy

To copy any file from a source to a destination, use the copy command in the EXEC mode. Currently, the copy command in ACS Express server copies a configuration (either running or startup).

Running configuration

The ACS Express appliance active configuration stores itself in the ACS Express appliance RAM. Every configuration command you give stores itself in the running configuration. If you reboot your ACS Express appliance, you lose the configuration. If you make changes that you want to save, you must copy the running configuration to a safe location, such as a network server, or save it as the ACS Express appliance startup configuration.

Startup configuration

You cannot edit a startup configuration directly. All commands you enter store themselves in the running configuration, which you can copy into the startup configuration.

In other words, when you boot an ACS Express appliance, the startup configuration becomes the initial running configuration. As you modify the configuration, the two diverge: the startup configuration remains the same, while the running configuration reflects the changes you have made. If you want to make your changes permanent, you must copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

The following command lines show some of the copy command scenarios available:

copy running-configuration startup-configuration

Copies the running-configuration to the startup-configuration. Replaces the startup-configuration with the running-configuration.


Note If you do not save the running-configuration, you will lose all your configuration changes during the next reboot of the server. Once satisfied that the current configuration is correct, copy your configuration to the startup configuration with the preceding command.


copy startup-configuration running-configuration

Copies the startup-configuration to the running-configuration. Merges the startup-configuration on top of the running-configuration.

copy [protocol://hostname/location] startup-configuration

Copies but does not merge a remote file to the startup-configuration.

copy [protocol://hostname/location] running-configuration

Copies and merges a remote file to the running-configuration.

copy startup-configuration [protocol://hostname/location]

Copies the startup-configuration to a remote system.

copy running-configuration [protocol://hostname/location]

Copies the running-configuration to a remote system.

copy logs [protocol://hostname/location]

Copies log files from the system to another location.


Note Copy command supported only for the local disk and not for a repository.


Syntax Description

running-
configuration

Represents the current running configuration file.

startup-configuration

Represents the configuration file used during initialization (startup).

protocol

See Table A-1 for protocol keyword options.

hostname

Hostname of destination.

location

Location of destination.

logs

The log files of the system.


Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History

Release
Modification

5.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The fundamental function of the copy command allows you to copy a file (such as a system image or configuration file) from one location to another location. The source and destination for the file specified, uses the Application Deployment Engine OS file system, which allows you to specify any supported local or remote file location. The file system being used (a local memory source, or a remote server) dictates the syntax used in the command.

You can enter on the command line all the necessary source and destination information and the username and password to use, or you can enter the copy command and have the ACS Express server system prompt you for any missing information.


Timesaver Aliases reduce the amount of typing you need to do. For example, type copy run start (the abbreviated form of the copy running-config startup-config command).


The entire copying process might take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol and from network to network.

Use the filename relative to the directory for file transfers.

Table A-1 Protocol Prefix Keywords 

Keyword
Source of Destination

ftp

Source or destination URL for FTP network server. The syntax for this alias:

ftp:[[[//username [:password]@]location]/directory]/filename

tftp

Source or destination URL for a TFTP network server. The syntax for this alias:

tftp:[[//location]/directory]/filename

sftp

Source or destination URL for an SSH network server. The syntax for this alias:

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of the copy command.

acsexpress1/admin# copy run start

be empty and you must backup until entering a '?' shows the
available options.
Two styles of help are provided:
1. Full help is available when you are ready to enter a
   command argument (e.g. 'show ?') and describes each possible
   argument.
2. Partial help is provided when an abbreviated argument is entered
   and you want to know what arguments match the input

Usage Guidelines

The first name server added with the ip name-server command will occupy the first position and the system will use that server first in resolving the ip addresses.

Name servers can be added to the system either one at a time or all at once, until the maximum (3) is reached.

If the system is already configured with three name servers, no additional name servers can be added until at least one is removed.

To place a name server in the first position, so that the subsystem will use it first, all name servers will need to be removed with the no command before proceeding.

This ensures that all NTP functions disable and that the NTP service also terminates.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of the ntp server command.

acsexpress1/admin(config)# ntp server 209.165.201.31
acsexpress1/admin(config)# exit
