It's actually weird with VRF & FTP

[Ajay Raj]

Hi,

I have a Cisco 3850 switch & trying to manually copy the running config using FTP protocol to the FTP server. The connectivity is actually through a VRF & Its having only one interface assigned to it.

When i do a telnet <server-IP> 21 Vrf <vrf-name> , the FTP server is accessible but when i do a telnet to the server with source interface as the "interface in VRF" , its failing.

Due to which i am unable to copy files manually through below command.

copy running-config ftp://username:pasword@<FTP server path> <source interface>

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Ajay,
I hope you figured out your problem if not please try this solution. you need to append vrf and the vrf name to the command as per the example below

copy running-config ftp://username:pasword@<FTP server path> vrf <VRFNAME>

Hope this helps
