Downloading The Saved Configuration From The Tftp Server - Cisco NPE-175 Installation And Configuration Manual

Copying the Saved Configuration to NVRAM

Downloading the Saved Configuration from the TFTP Server

After you install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 in the router and verify a successful router boot, you must
retrieve the router configuration from the TFTP server and copy it to NVRAM. Use the copy tftp
running-config command to copy the saved configuration from the TFTP file server. The system
prompts you for a hostname and address, the name of the configuration file stored on the host, and
confirmation to reboot using the remote file.
After the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is installed, save the router configuration file to NVRAM (the default is
the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 NVRAM) using the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config
command as follows:
Router# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config
You will want to configure the NPE-G1or NPE-G2 interfaces after retrieving the router configuration
and copying it to NVRAM.
Before retrieving the router configuration file from the TFTP server, check the following:

Before configuring the new interfaces on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, be prepared with the following

To retrieve the saved router configuration from the remote host, complete the following steps:
Make sure you are at the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (check the system prompt
Step 1
for a pound sign [#]). If the system prompt does not have a pound sign (#), enter enable, and then your
password.
Note
Step 2 Use the ping command to check the connection between the router and the remote host (the remote file
server to which you copied the configuration file).
At the system prompt, enter the copy tftp running-config command and press Return to enter
Step 3
configuration mode. Specify that you will configure the system from a network device (instead of from
the console terminal, which is the default).

A console terminal is connected to the console port on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, or a Telnet session
is established to the router.
The router is connected to a network supporting a file server (remote host).
The remote host supports the TFTP application.
You have the name or address of the remote host.
Protocols and encapsulations you plan to use on the new interface
Protocol-specific information, such as IP addresses if you will configure the interface for IP routing
iii.
Until you retrieve the saved configuration, the router runs from the default configuration in
NVRAM. Therefore, any passwords that were previously configured on the system are not valid
until you retrieve the configuration.
