Checking the Running Configuration Settings before Saving Them
You can check the configuration settings you entered or changes you made by entering
show running-config command at the enable prompt (#) as follows:
Router# show running-config

Saving the Running Configuration Settings and Reviewing Your
Configuration
To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, enter copy
running-config startup-config at the enable prompt (#) as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
This command saves the configuration settings that you created in configuration mode. If
you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the system. To
display information stored in NVRAM, use the show startup-config EXEC command.
The following sample output shows a typical system configuration:
Router# sh startup-config
