Maintenance Information
Remote host []?
Step 7 Type the name or interface processor 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
Translating “servername”...domain server (10.1.1.1) [OK]
Step 8 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 adifferent namefor the file before pressingReturn. In thefollowing
example, the default is accepted:
Name of configuration file to write [Router-confg]?
Write file Router-confg on host 10.1.1.1? [confirm]
Writing Router-confg .....
Step 9 Before the router executes the copy process, it displays the instructions you entered for confirmation. If
the instructions are not correct, type n (no) and then press Return to end the process. To accept the
instructions, press Return, or press y and then press Return, and the system begins the copy process. In
the following example, the default is accepted:
Write file Router-confg on host 10.1.1.1? [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 series of periods (...)
and [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 10 If the display indicates that the process was successful (with the series of exclamation points [! ! !] and
[ok]), the copy processis complete. The configuration is safely stored in thetemporary file on the remote
file server.
If the display indicates that the process failed (with the series of periods [. . .] 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.
Step 11 To further ensure that the configuration file was copied correctly, use the show startup-config command
and look at the first line for the configuration file’s size. Compare it with the file you copied to the TFTP
server. Following is an example. (Take special note of the line preceded by >>.)
Router# show startup-config
>> Using 1186 out of 126968 bytes
!
version 11.1
hostname Router
Router#
After you upload the configuration file, you are prepared to replace the RSP. For more information see
the “Removing the RSP8” section on page 16. If you are unable to copy the configuration to a remote
host successfully, contact your network administrator or see the “Obtaining Technical Assistance”
section on page 89 for instructions on contacting Cisco Systems for technical support.
This completes the procedure for copying the configuration file.
