Parameters

tftp-server: Specifies a TFTP server's IPv4 address or host name. The host name is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 253 characters. Valid characters include letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and dots (.).

src-filename: Specifies the file name of the configuration file to be downloaded.

Usage guidelines

This command is not supported in FIPS mode.

Before restoring the configuration file for the next startup, make sure the following requirements are met:

• The server is reachable.

• The server is enabled with TFTP service.

• You have read and write permissions to the server.

This command provides an easy method for configuration file restoration by automatically performing all operations required for restoring the main next-startup configuration file.

This command downloads the configuration file to the root directory of the default storage medium on each MPU and specifies the file as the main next-startup configuration file.

If a partitioned USB disk is used, the downloaded file is saved to the root directory of the first partition on the USB disk.

Make sure all MPUs use the same type of default storage medium. If a standby MPU uses a different type of default storage medium than the active MPU, the command cannot propagate the configuration file to the standby MPU. For example, the standby MPU uses a USB disk, but the active MPU uses a flash memory. In this situation, you must manually restore the next-startup configuration file on the standby MPU.
