Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information

Copying the Configuration File

Copying the Configuration File

Caution Before powering down the router to install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, you must save the current configuration to a Flash Disk, PC Card, Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) file server, or PC before you install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, or the configuration will be lost and you will have to manually re-enter your configuration.

Cisco IOS looks to the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 NVRAM for the startup running configuration, because the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, by default, stores the running configuration, whether or not an I/O controller is installed with the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.

The following sections provide instructions for copying the file to a Flash Disk, PC Card, or TFTP server, and for copying it manually using a terminal program on a PC:

•Copying the Configuration File to a Flash Disk or PC Card, page 7-4

•Copying the Configuration File to a TFTP Server, page 7-5

•Copying the Configuration File Using a PC, page 7-7

Copying the Configuration File to a Flash Disk or PC Card

Use the following instructions for copying the router configuration file to a Flash Disk or PC Card.

Caution If the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 will be installed in a router with either a C7200-I/O-GE/E or C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller, copy your running configuration to a Flash Disk, not a PC Card. PC Cards are not supported on these I/O controllers when an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is present. If you copy the running configuration to a PC Card with these I/O controllers present, you will not be able to retrieve the running configuration after the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is installed.

Step 1 Insert the Flash Disk or PC Card into I/O controller PC Card slot 0. If slot 0 is full, use slot 1. If you need to format the Flash Disk, go to Step 2. If the Flash Disk is already formatted, go to Step 3.

Step 2 Use the format disk0: command to format a Flash Disk in slot 0. Use the format disk1: command to format a Flash Disk in slot 1. If you are using a PC card, use slot0 or slot1 as part of the command.
