3750 switch - how to configure IP of TFTP server and name of file

[Florin Andrei]

On the ASA, using the tftp-server command, I've defined a TFTP server location and a file name. Now, all I have to do is "wr net" and the config is saved to TFTP.

tftp-server inside XXX.YYY.ZZZ.KKK firewall-config.txt

How do I do that on a 3750 switch? Is there a way to define a TFTP server address, and a file name for the configuration? It's annoying and error-prone to enter that stuff every single time I backup the config.

Thanks!

Hi,

As far as I know there ain't no similar command but maybe you could achieve a similar result by using an EEM applet for backup.You should ask in the EEM forum.

Look at the archive command.

Like this:

MyRouter#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

MyRouter(config)#archive

MyRouter(config-archive)#path tftp://192.168.0.1/MyRouter.cfg

The archive command will now write the config

MyRouter#archive config

That was it. archive and path commands. Thank you.

Is there any chance there's something similar for the MDS 9124 switches?

Florin,

The IOS to NX-OS converter suggests that the archive command does not have an equivalent in NX-OS:
