Saving Configuration Changes

You must enter the copy running-configstartup-configcommand to save your configuration changes to NVRAM so that they are not lost if there is a system reload or power outage. This example shows how to use this command to save your changes:

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Destination filename [startup-config]?

Press Return to accept the default destination filename startup-configor enter your desired destination filename and press Return.

It might take a minute or two to save the configuration to NVRAM. After the configuration has been saved, the following message appears:

Building configuration...

Router#

Summary

Now that you have reviewed some Cisco IOS software basics, you can begin to configure your router. Remember:

•You can use the question mark (?) and arrow keys to help you enter commands.

•Each command mode restricts you to a set of commands. If you are having difficulty entering a command, check the prompt, and then enter the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might be in the wrong command mode or using the wrong syntax.

•To disable a feature, enter the keyword no before the command; for example, no ip routing.

•Save your configuration changes to NVRAM so that they are not lost if there is a system reload or power outage.

Where to Go Next

To configure your router, go to the “Basic Router Configuration” section on page 5-1.
