Transferring switch configurations

Using the CLI commands described in the section beginning with TFTP: Copying a configuration file to a remote host (CLI), you can copy switch configurations to and from a switch, or copy a software image to configure or replace an ACL in the switch configuration.

NOTE:

For greater security, you can perform all TFTP operations using SFTP, as described in the section Using SCP and SFTP.

You can also use the include-credentials command to save passwords, secret keys, and other security credentials in the running config file. For more information, see the section on "Saving Security Credentials in a Config File" in the access security guide for your switch.
