Router# write net

Installation Prerequisites

Step 4 Issue the write net (or copy startup-conﬁg tftp ) command. The EXEC command interpreter prompts 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.)

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# write net

Remote host []? servername

Translating "servername"...domain server (1.1.1.1) [OK]

Step 6 The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for the name of the ﬁle that will contain the conﬁguration. By default, the system appends -confgto 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 then Return, and the system will begin 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.

Step 8 If the display indicates that the process was successful (with the series of ! ! ! and [ok]), the upload 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.

After you upload the conﬁguration ﬁle, proceed to “Removing the RSP7000” on page 18. 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.
