    We have 4 Aruba Switch Stacks.
     
    The Core Switch Stack is a J9822A Aruba 5412R zl2 currently running KB.16.03.0004
    On the Core Switch I am able to issue the following command:
    copy tftp flash 192.168.20.116 KB.16.05.0013 secondary
     
    The other 3 Switch Stacks are comprised of Aruba JL322A Switches running  WC.16.10.0015
    I am preparing to upgrade these switches but am having issues with the CLI Commands.
    On the JL322A Switches, the command "copy tftp..." does not exist.
    I checked thw switches for tftp configuration and they each have the "no tftp server" configuration.
    This would be tftp client, so I tried to enable it just in case "tftp client".  Again the "tftp ..." command is not supported.
    I am however able to backup the current configuration using tftp:
     example: copy startup-config tftp 192.168.20.116 20240313_1st-FloorSwitchCloset_dbw.cfg
     
    I don't understand why the JL322A Switches or possibly the current firmware (WC.16.10.0015) on these switches is not allowing me to use the "copy tftp ..." command.
     
    Thank you,
    Dave
