Chapter 3 Configuring General Router Features

Managing Configuration Sessions

F I N A L D R A F T — C i s c o C o n f i d e n t i a l

To save the configuration changes in the target configuration to a file, type the save configuration device: command. Replace the device argument with the name of the device on which you want to store the file (for example, disk0). After you enter this command, the router prompts you to enter a filename. If you enter only a filename, the file is stored in the root directory of the device. To store the file in a directory, type the directory path and filename when prompted. We recommend that you specify the cfg file extension for easy identification. This suffix is not required, but it can help locate target configuration files. Example: myconfig.cfg

The following example shows a target configuration file saved to the usr/cisco directory of disk0:

RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:router(admin-config)# save configuration disk0:

Destination file name (control-c to abort): [/running-config]?/usr/cisco/test.cfgBuilding configuration.

1 lines built in 1 second [OK]

Note You can also save a configuration to a file using the show configuration file filename command.

Loading the Target Configuration from a File

To populate the target configuration with the contents of a previously saved configuration file, go to global configuration or administration configuration mode and type the load filename command. Consider the following when entering the filename argument:

The filename argument specifies the configuration file to be loaded into the target configuration.

If the full path of the file is not specified, the router attempts to load the file from the root directory on the device.

The following example shows a target configuration file loaded into the current configuration session. The current configuration session is populated with the contents of the file:

RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:router(config)# load disk0:/usr/cisco/test.cfg

Loading.

77 bytes parsed in 1 sec (76)bytes/sec

Loading an Alternative Configuration at System Startup

When a router is reset or powered on, the last running configuration is loaded and used to operate the router.

You can load an alternative configuration during system boot. See Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router ROM Monitor Guide for information and instructions on this process.

Clearing All Changes to a Target Configuration

To clear changes made to the target configuration without terminating the configuration session, type the clear command in global configuration mode or administration configuration mode. This command deletes any configuration changes that have not been committed.

A9KMOD80TR, A9K24X10GETR, ASR 9000 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking technology, providing cutting-edge solutions for service providers and enterprise organizations alike. Among their standout products is the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, notably the A9K24X10GETR and the A9KMOD80TR models. These routers are engineered to deliver unmatched performance, scalability, and versatility for networks that require high bandwidth and low latency.

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is built for the needs of today's complex service provider and enterprise networks. A significant feature of the A9K24X10GETR is its 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module. This functionality allows for high-density connectivity, making it ideal for aggregating numerous connections to different parts of a network while maintaining optimal performance. Whether used for Internet service providers delivering high-speed connectivity or for enterprises looking to connect multiple branches, the A9K24X10GETR provides robust and reliable data transmission.

Further enhancing the capabilities of the ASR 9000 is the A9KMOD80TR module, which supports an extensive range of services. This module is designed to run a variety of technologies, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), and IPv6. Its ability to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructures while providing the advanced features customers demand makes it an invaluable asset for network engineering teams.

Another cutting-edge technology present in the ASR 9000 Series is its support for eBGP (External Border Gateway Protocol), which plays a critical role in managing traffic across multiple networks. The routers are equipped with advanced telemetry features, empowering operators with real-time insights into network performance and health. Additionally, they come with integrated security features that protect against DDoS threats and other vulnerabilities.

In summary, Cisco's ASR 9000 Series, particularly the A9K24X10GETR and A9KMOD80TR, combines high-density connections, extensive service support, and advanced security and telemetry capabilities. These routers are perfect for demanding environments where reliable performance and adaptability are crucial. With their focus on innovation and performance, Cisco continues to shape the future of networking technology.
