Difficulty: MediumTFTP and FTP Operations for System Images and Configuration Management

A network administrator needs to back up a Cisco IOS router's running configuration to a remote FTP server at IP address 10.1.1.50 using the username 'admin' and password 'Cisco123'. Which command correctly completes this file transfer in a single step?

  1. copy running-config ftp://admin:[email protected]/running-config.cfgAnswer
  2. B
    copy ftp://admin:[email protected]/running-config.cfg running-config
  3. C
    copy running-config tftp://admin:[email protected]/running-config.cfg
  4. D
    copy running-config ftp://10.1.1.50/admin:Cisco123/running-config.cfg

Answer

The command 'copy running-config ftp://admin:[email protected]/running-config.cfg' correctly backs up the running configuration using FTP with inline credentials.
The correct command follows the Cisco IOS convention 'copy source destination' and properly formats the FTP URL with inline authentication credentials as 'ftp://username:password@ip_address/filename'.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the source and destination for the Cisco IOS copy operation.
Source is 'running-config' and destination is the remote FTP server.
Cisco IOS uses the syntax 'copy <source> <destination>'.
2
Format the FTP URL protocol string with authentication credentials.
URL string structured as 'ftp://admin:[email protected]/running-config.cfg'.
FTP requires user authentication; Cisco IOS supports inline URL authentication using the 'ftp://username:password@host/filepath' format.
