configure {host file | network}
Syntax Description

host

IP address or IP alias of the host.

file

Name of the file.

network

Keyword that specifies interactive prompting for the host and the file.

Default

This command has no default setting.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Usage Guideline

Refer to the Catalyst 6000 and 6500 Series Software Configuration Guide on how to construct a configuration file to download using the configure command.

Examples

Following is a sample file called system5.cfg in the /tftpboot directory:

begin
show time
set ip alias conc7 198.133.219.207
set ip alias montreux 198.133.119.42
set ip alias cres 192.122.174.42
set prompt system5>
set password
# empty string old password
 
pingpong
pingpong
end
#
 

Each line contains a command, except lines that begin with ! or #.

This example shows how to download the system5.cfg configuration file from the 192.122.174.42 host:

Console> (enable) configure 192.122.174.42 system5.cfg

confreg

Use the confreg command to configure the configuration register utility.

confreg [num]
Syntax Description

num

(Optional) Valid values are 0 = ROM monitor, 1 = boot helper image, and 2 to 15 = boot system.

Default

This command has no default setting.

Command Type

ROM monitor command.

Command Mode

Normal.

Usage Guidelines

Executed with the argument num, confreg changes the VCR to match the number specified.

Without the argument, confreg dumps the contents of the VCR in English and allows you to alter the contents.

You are prompted to change or keep the information held in each bit of the VCR. In either case, the new VCR value is written into NVRAM and does not take effect until you reset or power cycle the platform.

You must issue a sync command to save your change. Otherwise, the change is not saved and a reset removes your change.

Example

This example shows how to use the confreg command:

rommon 7 > confreg

copy

Use the copy command to upload or download a Flash image or a switch configuration to or from a Flash device or a TFTP server.

copy file-id {tftp | flash | file-id | config}
copy tftp {flash | file-id | config}
copy flash {tftp | file-id | config}
copy config {flash | file-id | tftp}
Syntax Description

file-id

Format used to specify the file on the Flash device, where the format is m/device:filename.

m/ = Option that gives access to different modules, such as the standby supervisor engine or an Ethernet module.

device: = Device where the Flash resides.

filename = Name of the configuration file.

tftp

Keyword that allows you to copy to or from a TFTP server.

flash

Keyword to support downloading of multiple modules.

config

Keyword that allows you to copy the configuration to Flash memory, another Flash device, or a file on a TFTP server.

Default

If a source or destination device is not given, the one specified by the cd command is used. If a destination filename is omitted, the source filename is used.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

If the source or destination device is not specified, the command uses the ones specified by the cd command. If the destination filename is omitted, the software uses the source filename.

A colon (:) is required after the specified device.

When the flash keyword is used, based on the file type derived, a prompt is given for all modules of the same type. A different prompt is given depending on the command argument and reply.
