7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) Installation and Configuration in the Cisco 7000 Series Routers 15
Installation Prerequisites
Step 4 Issue the write net (or copy startup-config tftp) command. The EXEC command
interpreter prompts you for the name or interface processor address of the remote host that
is to receive the configuration file. (The prompt might include the name or address of a
default file server.)
Router# write net
Remote host []?
Step 5 Enter the name or interface processor address of the remote host. In the following example,
the name of the remote server is servername:
Router# write net
Remote host []? servername
Translating "servername"...domain server (1.1.1.1) [OK]
Step 6 The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for the name of the file that will contain the
configuration. By default, the system appends -confg to the router’s name to create the new
filename. Press Return to accept the default filename, or enter a different name for the file
before pressing Return. In the following example, the default is accepted:
Name of configuration file to write [Router-confg]?
Write file Router-confg on host 1.1.1.1? [confirm]
Writing Router-confg .....
Step 7 Before the router executes the copy process, it displays the instructions you entered for
confirmation. If the instructions are not correct, enter n (no) then Return to abort the
process. To accept the instructions, press Return or y then Return, and the system will
begin the copy process. In the following example, the default is accepted:
Write file Router-confg on host 1.1.1.1? [confirm]
Writing Router-confg: !!!! [ok]
While the router copies the configuration to the remote host, it displays a series of
exclamation points (! ! !) or periods (. . .). The !!!! and [ok] indicate that the operation is
successful. A display of . . . [timed out] or [failed] indicates a failure, which would probably
be due to a network fault or the lack of a writable, readable file on the remote file server.
Step 8 If the display indicates that the process was successful (with the series of ! ! ! and [ok]), the
upload process is complete. The configuration is safely stored in the temporary file on the
remote file server.
If the display indicates that the process failed (with the series of . . . as shown in the
following example):
Writing Router-confg .....
your configuration was not saved. Repeat the preceding steps, or select a different remote
file server and repeat the preceding steps.
After you upload the configuration file, proceed to “Removing the RSP7000” on page 18. If you are
unable to copy the configuration to a remote host successfully, contact your network administrator
or refer to the end of this document for instructions on contacting technical assistance.
