Issue the show running-config (or write term) command to display the currently running
Step 3
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. (Refer to the appropriate software documentation for descriptions of the
configuration options available for the system and individual interfaces, and for specific
configuration instructions.)
Issue the copy startup-config tftp command. The EXEC command interpreter prompts
Step 4
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 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# copy startup-config tftp
Remote host []? servername
Translating "servername"...domain server (1.1.1.1) [OK]
The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for the name of the file that will contain the
Step 6
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 and then Return, and the system
begins 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.
If the display indicates that the process was successful (with the series of ! ! ! and [ok]), the
Step 8
copy 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.
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.
