using variables

[mnewnam01]

Hi,

Is there a way to use variables in IOS? For instance, I want to tftp the same file from several switches to my server and I would like the destination filename to be the same as the hostname. So, is there a way to reference the variable containing the hostname?

Thanks

There is an ip to host name mapping table that you can create on the router and then refer to the name rather than ip address. I am not sure if this answers your question.

ip host r1 1.1.1.1

ip host r2 2.2.2.2
