Secure copy configuration notes

  • When using SCP, enter the scp commands on the SCP-enabled client, rather than the console on the RUCKUS device.
  • You may see the error "protocol error: filename does not match request" when attempting to perform an SCP copy of the following types of files: running-config, startup-config, ICX software image. This may indicate that you did not include the file extension in the source filename. Either re-enter the command and include the filename extension, or disable SCP strict filename checking feature using the -t option.
  • Certain SCP client options, including -p and -r, are ignored by the SCP server on the RUCKUS device. If an option is ignored, the client is notified.
  • An SCP AES copy of the running or start configuration file from the RUCKUS device to Linux WS 4 or 5 may fail if the configuration size is less than 700 bytes. To work around this issue, use PuTTY to copy the file.
  • SCP does not support running config overwite except acl configuration.
