1. Connect to the switch via a terminal emulator such as PuTTY.
2. Log in to the switch with your administrative privileges.
3. Enable privileged mode by typing “enable“ at the command line and entering your password.
4. Configure the Cisco switch to accept a TFTP connection by entering the following command:
switch# ip tftp source–interface vlan1
5. To configure the switch to use a particular server type the following command:
switch# ip tftp server–address x.x.x.x
6. Once the switch has been configured for a TFTP connection, you can use the copy command to push a file from the switch to your TFTP server. For example, to copy the running configuration from the switch to the TFTP server type:
switch# copy running–config tftp://x.x.x.x/file.cfg
7. Enter the appropriate username and password if prompted.
8. The file will then be copied to your TFTP server and the progress will be displayed on screen. Once the transfer is complete, type ‘exit‘ to return to the main switch command line.
