Chapter 4 Performing a Basic Configuration of the System

If You Need More Configuration Information

Router# copy slot0:myfile startup-config

[ok]

Router#

To ensure that the startup configuration file, now stored in NVRAM, is the default running configuration file used by the system, issue the copy startup-configrunning-configcommand as follows:

Router# copy startup-config running-config

Router#

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from memory by console

Router#

This completes the procedure for copying a configuration file from the Flash memory card to NVRAM.

Recovering from Locked Blocks in Flash Memory Cards

A locked block in Flash memory cards occurs when power is lost or a Flash memory card is unplugged during a write or erase operation. When a block of Flash memory is locked, it cannot be written to or erased, and the operation will consistently fail at a particular block location. The only way to recover from locked blocks is by reformatting the Flash memory card with the format command.

Caution Formatting a Flash memory card will cause existing data to be lost.

If You Need More Configuration Information

The Cisco IOS software running your Cisco 7500 series router contains extensive features and functionality. The effective use of many of these features is easier if you have more information at hand.

For additional information on Cisco IOS software and configuring your router, refer to the following documentation resources:

Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly. Therefore, it might be more up to date than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM package is available as a single package or as an annual subscription. You can also access Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.

For systems with Cisco IOS Release 10.0 (1) or a later release of 10.0, refer to the following publications:
