Upgrading to a New Cisco IOS Release

Saving Configuration Changes

You need to enter the copy running-configstartup-configcommand to save your configuration changes to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), so the changes are not lost if there is a system reload or power outage. For example:

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Building configuration...

It might take a minute or two to save the configuration to NVRAM. After the configuration has been saved, the following appears:

[OK]

Where to Go Next

Now that you have learned some Cisco IOS software basics, you can begin to configure the router using the CLI.

Remember that:

You can use the question mark (?) and arrow keys to help you enter commands.

Each command mode restricts you to a set of commands. If you have difficulty entering a command, check the prompt and then enter the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might be in the wrong command mode or using the wrong syntax.
