Configuring a Cisco Router via TFTP

You can use the copy tftp command to configure the router via the Trivial File

Transfer Protocol (TFTP).

This is useful when you need to configure a large number of devices. The router copies the entire file via TFTP before it enters the commands into the running config.

Router#copy tftp://192.168.1.1/NEWCONFIG running-config

Destination filename [ running-config] ?
