Retrieve the Configuration File for RSPs
Install Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)
Retrieve the saved configuration and copy it to
NVRAM by accessing the router through a console
terminal, or from a remote terminal.
Step 1 Enter the enable command at the EXEC
prompt (>), and then enter a
privileged-level password, as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Router#
Note The router runs from the default
configuration in NVRAM until the previous
configuration is retrieved. Passwords configured on
the previous system are not valid until they are
retrieved.
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 copy tftp startup-config
command and press Return to enter the
configuration mode and specify that you
will configure the system from a network
device (instead of from the console
terminal, which is the default).
Router# copy tftp startup-config
Step 4 Enter the IP address or name of the remote
host (the remote TFTP server to which
you originally saved the configuration
file).
Address of remote host [255.255.255.255]?
10.1.1.1
Step 5 Enter the name of the configuration file.
The default is to use the name of the
router with the suffix -confg
(Router-confg in the following example).
If you specified a different filename when
you copied the configuration, enter the
filename; otherwise, press Return to
accept the default.
Name of configuration file [Router-confg]?
Step 6 Before the system reloads the new
configuration file in NVRAM, it displays
the instructions you entered for
confirmation. If the instructions are not
correct, enter n (no), and then press
Return to cancel the process. To accept the
instructions, press Return, or press y and
then press Return. Output similar to the
following appears:
Configure using Router-confg from 10.1.1.1?
