Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Copying the Configuration File
Copying the Configuration File
Caution Before powering down the router to install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, you must save the current
configuration to a Flash Disk, PC Card, Trivial
File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) file server, or PC before
you install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, or the configuration will be lost and you will have to manually
re-enter your configuration.
Cisco IOS looks to the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 NVRAM for the startup running configuration, because the
NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, by default, stores the running configuration, whether or not an I/O controller is
installed with the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.
The following sections provide instructions for copying the file to a Flash Disk, PC Card, or TFTP
server, and for copying it manually using a terminal program on a PC:
• Copying the Configuration File to a Flash Disk or PC Card, page 7-4
• Copying the Configuration File to a TFTP Server, page 7-5
• Copying the Configuration File Using a PC, page 7-7
Copying the Configuration File to a Flash Disk or PC Card
Use the following instructions for copying the router configuration file to a Flash Disk or PC Card.
Caution If the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 will be installed in a router with either a C7200-I/O-GE/E or
C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller, copy your running configuration to a Flash Disk, not a PC Card. PC
Cards are not supported on these I/O controllers when an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is present. If you copy the
running configuration to a PC Card with these I/O controllers present, you will not be able to retrieve
the running configuration after the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is installed.
Step 1 Insert the Flash Disk or PC Card into I/O controller PC Card slot 0. If slot 0 is full, use slot 1. If you
need to format the Flash Disk, go to Step 2. If the Flash Disk is already formatted, go to
Step 3.
Step 2 Use the format disk0: command to format a Flash Disk in slot 0. Use the format disk1: command to
format a Flash Disk in slot 1. If you are using a PC card, use slot0 or slot1 as part of the command.
