Copying the Configuration File
Before you copy (save) the running configuration to the TFTP file server, ensure the following:
•
•
•
•
To store information on a remote host, enter the privileged EXEC command copy startup-config tftp.
The command prompts you for the destination host's address and a filename, and then displays the
instructions for confirmation. When you confirm the instructions, the router sends a copy of the currently
running configuration to the remote host. The system default is to store the configuration in a file called
by the name of the router with -confg appended. You can either accept the default filename by pressing
Return at the prompt, or enter a different name before pressing Return.
Follow these steps to copy the currently running configuration to a remote host:
The system prompt should display a pound sign (#) to indicate the privileged level of the EXEC

Note Before you can save (copy) a file to a TFTP server, a file must first exist on the TFTP server. Use the
appropriate server commands to create this file and ensure that the filename matches the filename you
will copy from the router. Also, ensure that the appropriate server permissions are set so the router can
copy to this file.
Create a file on the TFTP server.
Step 5
Enter the copy startup-config tftp command. The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for the
Step 6
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 []?
Enter the name or interface processor address of the remote host. In the following example, the name of
