Using Flash Memory Cards in the RP
Copying a Configuration File from RP DRAM to a Flash Memory Card
To copy the running configuration file from DRAM to a Flash memory card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter the command for copying a running configuration file from DRAM to a Flash memory card. The command takes the following form:
copy running-config  [slot0:slot1:]filename
where:
| Specifies the DRAM source of the file to be copied. | 
[slot0: slot1:]filename Specifies the destination of the configuration file to be copied (the Flash memory card inserted in either slot 0 or slot 1) and the name of the new file.
An example of the copy 
Router# copy running-config  slot0:myfile2
20575008 bytes available on device slot0, proceed? [confirm] Address or name of remote host [1.1.1.1]?
Loading new.image from 1.1.1.1 (via Ethernet0):

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC Router#
In this example, the exclamation points (!) appear as the source file is being downloaded to the destination device. The CCCCC characters indicate that a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is being calculated during the downloading process. The CRC verifies that the file has been correctly downloaded to the Flash memory card inserted in PCMCIA slot 0 or the designated destination device.
Step 2 To further verify that the file was copied correctly, enter the dir command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt:
| Router# dir slot0: |
