Transferring ACL Command Files
Transferring ACL Command Files
This section describes how to upload and execute a command file to the
switch for configuring or replacing an Access Control List (ACL) in the switch
configuration. Such files should contain only ACE (Access Control Entry)
commands. For more on this general topic, including an example of an ACL
command file created offline, refer to the section titled “Editing ACLs and
Creating an ACL Offline” in the “Access Control Lists (ACLs)” chapter of the
latest Access Security Guide for your switch.
TFTP: Uploading an ACL Command File from a TFTP Server
Syntax: copy tftp command-file < ip-addr > < filename.txt > < unix | pc > [oobm]
where:
< ip-addr > = The IP address of a TFTP server available
to the switch
< filename.txt > = A text file containing ACL commands
and stored in the TFTP directory of
the server identified by < ip-addr >
< unix | pc > = The type of workstation used for serial,
Telnet, or SSH access to the switch CLI
[oobm] = For switches that have a separate out-of-
band management port, specifies that
the transfer will be through the out-of-
band management interface. (Default is
transfer through the data interface.)
This command copies and executes the named text file from
the specified TFTP server address and executes the ACL
commands in the file. Depending on the ACL commands used,
this action does one of the following in the running-config file:
■ Creates a new ACL.
■ Replaces an existing ACL. (Refer to “Creating an ACL
Offline” in the “Access Control Lists (ACLs)” chapter in
the latest Access Security Guide for your switch.)
■ Adds to an existing ACL.
