This article shows you a step-by-step procedure to backup and restore a configuration from/to a Cisco router or switch to a TFTP server. Before you proceed, make sure you have a TFTP server on the network to which you have IP connectivity.

1. After login the switch (in our example), issue the enable command. The prompt changes to Switchname#, which indicates that the Switch is now in privileged mode.

2. Copy this configuration file to the TFTP server:

Switch#copy running-config tftp:

Press Enter and Enter to process the backup.

To restore, run this command:

Switch#copy tftp: running-config
Address or name of remote host []? 10.0.200.18
Source filename []? C9200-config
Destination filename [running-config]?

To upgrade the C9000 Switch in install mode please follow the next steps:

1. Configure #install remove inactive

2. Copy the .bin image you want to upgrade to, into the flash. You can do this with a usb or via tftp

a. USB way: # copy usbflash0:(image-name.bin) flash:

b. TFTP way: # copy tftp: flash:

i. Then fill in the required information such as host and file name (image-name.bin)

3. Set the boot variable to the correct one. This should be packages.conf. Issue the following commands:

a. >enable

b. #conf t

c. (conf)#no boot sys

d. (conf)#boot sys flash:packages.conf

e. (conf)#do wr <<<<<< Very important to save configuration changes

4. Return to the privileged mode

a. (config)# end

5. Start the install process (Will ask to reload once the .pkg files finish to be generated)
