Using Flash Memory Cards in the RP

To copy a configuration file named myfile2 from the NVRAM on the RP to a Flash memory card in slot 0, follow these steps:

Step 1 Enter the show bootvar command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt to display the current setting for the CONFIG_FILE environmental variable, as follows:

Router# show bootvar

.

.

.

Router#

The absence of any notation following the CONFIG_FILE variable statement in this sample display indicates that the environmental variable points to NVRAM (the system default).

Step 2 To begin the copy operation, enter a copy command in the following form at the privileged EXEC mode prompt:

copy startup-config [slot0: slot1:]filename

where

 

startup-config

Specifies the source of the file to be copied (NVRAM).

[slot0: slot1:]filename Specifies the destination of the file (the Flash memory card slot number) and the name of the new file.
