Copy EOS from one switch to another

Hi Brian.

You can use multiple different methods, such as FTP, SCP, HTTP, etc.

Examples:

FTP Server
Command
copy ftp:/ftp-source/sourcefile flash:/destfile
Example
sch#copy ftp:/user:password@10.0.0.3/EOS-4.13.2.swi flash:/EOS-4.13.2.swi
SCP
Command
copy scp://scp-source/sourcefile flash:/destfile
Example
sch#copy scp://user:password@10.1.1.8/user/EOS-4.13.2.swi flash:/EOS-4.13.2.swi
HTTP
Command
copy http://http-source/sourcefile flash:/destfile
Example
sch#copy http://10.0.0.10/EOS-4.13.2.swi flash:/EOS-4.13.2.swi

Example from a switch to another via SCP:

#copy flash:EOS.swi scp://admin@10.0.0.1/mnt/flash/EOS.swi

I hope this helps.

Hi Brian,

You can use the scp command to transfer files between Arista switches.

copy flash: scp:@:

For example:
copy flash:EOS.swi scp:admin@switch:/mnt/flash/

Hi Brian,

You if you have the EOS swi file under /mnt/flash of the switch you can copy it to another switch using the SCP command as follows:

switch# copy scp://user@scp-source-IP/mnt/flash/EOS-4.x.y.swi flash:/EOS-4.x.y.swi
