Retrieve the Conﬁguration File for RSPs

Retrieve the saved conﬁguration and copy it to NVRAM by accessing the router through a console terminal, or from a remote terminal.

Step 1 Enter the enable command at the EXEC prompt (>), and then enter a privileged-level password, as follows:

Router> enable

Password:

Router#

Note The router runs from the default conﬁguration in NVRAM until the previous conﬁguration is retrieved. Passwords conﬁgured on the previous system are not valid until they are retrieved.

Step 2 Enter the ping command followed by the name or IP address of the remote server, and then press Return to check the connection between the router and the remote host.

Step 3 Enter the copy tftp startup-conﬁg command and press Return to enter the conﬁguration mode and specify that you will conﬁgure the system from a network device (instead of from the console terminal, which is the default).

Router# copy tftp startup-config

Step 4 Enter the IP address or name of the remote host (the remote TFTP server to which you originally saved the conﬁguration ﬁle).

Address of remote host [255.255.255.255]?

10.1.1.1

Step 5 Enter the name of the conﬁguration ﬁle. The default is to use the name of the router with the sufﬁx -confg(Router-confg in the following example). If you speciﬁed a different ﬁlename when

you copied the conﬁguration, enter the ﬁlename; otherwise, press Return to accept the default.

Name of configuration file [Router-confg]?

Step 6 Before the system reloads the new conﬁguration ﬁle in NVRAM, it displays the instructions you entered for conﬁrmation. If the instructions are not correct, enter n (no), and then press Return to cancel the process. To accept the instructions, press Return, or press y and then press Return. Output similar to the

following appears:

Configure using Router-confg from 10.1.1.1? [confirm]

Warning: distilled config is not generated [OK]
