Chapter 7 Managing Firmware and Configurations

Working with Configuration Files

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

 

Verify that the RCP server is properly configured by

 

 

referring to the “Preparing to Download or Upload a

 

 

Configuration File by Using RCP” section on page 7-15.

Step 2

 

 

 

Log in to the WMIC through a Telnet session.

Step 3

 

 

configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

 

 

This step is required only if you override the default remote

 

 

username (see Steps 4 and 5).

Step 4

 

 

ip rcmd remote-username username

(Optional) Specifies the remote username.

Step 5

 

 

end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

 

 

copy system:running-config

Using RCP, copies the configuration file from an WMIC

 

rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]

running or startup configuration file to a network server.

 

or

 

 

copy nvram:startup-config

 

 

rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/filename]

 

 

 

 

This example shows how to copy the running configuration file named ap2-confgto the netadmin1 directory on the remote host with an IP address of 172.16.101.101:

bridge# copy system:running-config rcp://netadmin1@172.16.101.101/ap2-confg

Write file br-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm] Building configuration...[OK]

Connected to 172.16.101.101 bridge#

This example shows how to store a startup configuration file on a server:

bridge# configure terminal

bridge(config)# ip rcmd remote-username netadmin2 bridge(config)# end

bridge# copy nvram:startup-config rcp: Remote host[]? 172.16.101.101

Name of configuration file to write [ap2-confg]? Write file ap2-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm] ![OK]

3200 specifications

Cisco Systems 3200 Series routers are designed to deliver high-performance, reliable networking solutions for enterprise and service provider environments. They are part of Cisco's extensive portfolio that addresses the challenges of modern networking, particularly in connecting remote offices and branch locations efficiently and securely.

One of the standout features of the Cisco 3200 Series is its scalability. The routers support a variety of modular interfaces, allowing organizations to tailor their network infrastructure according to specific needs. This modularity ensures that as businesses grow and their networking requirements evolve, the Cisco 3200 can adapt without necessitating a complete overhaul of existing hardware.

Security is another critical characteristic of the Cisco 3200 routers. They incorporate robust security features such as integrated firewall capabilities, advanced encryption standards, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) support. This ensures that sensitive data transmitted over the network is protected from potential threats, making them ideal for businesses that prioritize security, especially in regulated industries.

Performance-wise, the Cisco 3200 is equipped with advanced processing capabilities, enabling it to handle high data throughput even in demanding environments. This performance is bolstered by the use of Cisco's proprietary technologies, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic shaping, which allow the prioritization of critical applications to ensure seamless connectivity.

The router series also benefits from Cisco's extensive software ecosystem, which includes Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System). IOS provides a familiar interface for network administrators, alongside a wealth of features for configuration and management. Furthermore, the Cisco 3200 Series is designed to integrate with Cisco's Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions, offering enhanced flexibility in managing network resources.

Connectivity options for the Cisco 3200 Series are extensive, offering support for various WAN technologies, including MPLS, LTE, and broadband internet. This versatility enables organizations to choose the best connectivity solutions according to their geographic and operational requirements.

Finally, the Cisco 3200 Series routers are built with reliability in mind. They are designed for high availability and redundancy, ensuring that network services remain uninterrupted in the event of hardware failures or maintenance activities.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems 3200 routers represent a comprehensive networking solution, combining scalability, security, performance, and reliability, making them a preferred choice for organizations looking to enhance their networking infrastructure in a dynamic digital landscape.
