Copy the Configuration File for an RSP
Install Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)
Refer to the appropriate Cisco IOS software
documentation for the configuration options
available, and for specific configuration instructions,
as needed.
Before you copy (save) the running configuration to
a TFTP file server, ensure the following:
• You have a connection to the router either with
a console terminal connected to the RSP console
port or remotely through a Telnet session.
• The router is connected to a network supporting
a file server (remote host).
• The remote host supports the TFTP application.
• You have the interface processor address or
name of the remote host available.
Step 1 Enter the enable command at the EXEC
prompt (>), and then enter a
privileged-level password, as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Router#
Step 2 Enter the ping command followed by the
name or IP address of the remote server,
and then press Return to check the
connection between the router and the
remote host.
Step 3 Enter the show running-config command
to display the currently running
configuration on the terminal and ensure
that the configuration information is
complete and correct. If it is not, use the
configure command to add or modify the
existing configuration.
Step 4 Create a file on the TFTP server.
Note Before you can save a file to a TFTP server, a
file must first exist on the TFTP server. Create this
file. Ensure that the filename matches the filename
you will copy from the router. Also, ensure that the
server permissions are set so the router can copy to
this file.
Step 5 Issue the 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# copy startup-config tftp
Remote host []?
Step 6 Enter the name or IP address of the remote
host. In the following example, the name
of the remote server is servername:
Router# copy startup-config tftp
Remote host []?
servername
