Cisco CCNA (640-553) Security Exam Training - Using the "Binary File" Command

In today's article, I'm going to inform you about the Cisco IOS tti-registrar configuration mode command named "binary file."???

CCNAs (like you) use the?command to specify the binary file location on the registrar and the destination binary file location on the petitioner.???

In other words, you can use the command to specify the location where a binary file will be retrieved from the registrar and then copied to the petitioner during a Trusted Transitive Introduction (TTI) exchange.???

Note: It's possible to have nine binary files being transferred, and each one having a different source and destination location.???

Below is the command's syntax:??

binary file sourceURL destinationURL??

As you can see, the command uses a source and destination URL argument.???

sourceURL - This argument is used to specify the source URL on the registrar from which to retrieve the binary fie.???

destinationURL - And, this argument is used to specify the destination URL on the petitioner for which the binary file will be placed.???

Below are the Source and Destination URL keywords with their descriptions:???

archive:-- Retrieves from the archive location.???

cns:-- Retrieves from the Cisco Networking Services (CNS) configuration engine.???

disk0:-- Retrieves from disk0.???

disk1:-- Retrieves from disk1??
