3.Enable the device to automatically load the host file upon restart. service config

4.To exit configuration mode, press <Ctrl-Z>.

5.Save the configuration file to your startup configuration. This step saves the configuration to NVRAM.

You can specify more than one host configuration file. The Cisco IOS software tries them in order until it loads one successfully. This proce- dure can be useful for keeping files with different configuration infor- mation loaded on a network server.

In this example, a router is configured to boot from the host configu- ration file hostfile1 and from the network configuration file networkfile1:

Router1# configure terminal Router1(config)# boot host hostfile1 Router1(config)# boot network networkfile1 Router1(config)# service config

^Z

Router1# copy running-config startup-config
