Cisco Systems Cisco ASR 1006 quick start Check the Running Configuration Settings

Note Basic management setup configures enough connectivity for managing the system; extended setup will ask you to configure each interface on the system. For detailed information about setting global parameters, refer to the Cisco ASR 1000_Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide.

Check the Running Configuration Settings

To check the value of the settings you have entered, enter the show running-configcommand at the Router# prompt:

Router# show running-config

To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC mode show startup-configcommand to see the changes in

NVRAM.

Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM

To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, use the copy running-configstartup-configcommand to save your configuration changes to the startup configuration so that the changes will not be lost if the software reloads or a power outage occurs. For example:

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Building configuration...

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

[OK]

Router#

On most platforms, this task saves the configuration to NVRAM. On the Class A Flash file system platforms, this task saves the configuration to the location specified by the CONFIG_FILE environment variable. The CONFIG_FILE variable defaults to

NVRAM.

To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC mode show startup-configcommand to see the changes.

Note Using the copy running-configstartup-configcommand saves the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.

Perform Other Configuration Tasks

To make advanced configuration changes after you establish the basic startup configuration for your router, refer to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide and modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware. These publications contain additional information on using the configure command. The configuration publications also provide information about the following tasks:

•Understanding Diagnostic Mode feature

•Understanding Command Modes

•Booting and rebooting the router

•Understanding software packages for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers

•Software Upgrades
