14 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) Installation and Configuration in the Cisco 7000 Series Routers
Installation Prerequisites
The following example shows the results of a failed ping:
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
Router#
If the connection fails, check the physical connection to the remote file server and verify that you are
using the correct address or name, then ping the server again. If you are unable to establish a good
connection, contact your network administrator or refer to the end of this document for instructions
on contacting technical assistance.
Uploading (Copying) the Configuration File
Before you upload (copy) the running configuration to the TFTP file server, ensure the following:
You have a connection to the router either with a console terminal connected to the RSP7000
console port, or remotely through a Telnet session.
The router is connected to a network supporting a file server (remote host).
The remote host supports the TFTP application.
You have the interface processor address or name of the remote host available.
To store information on a remote host, enter thewrite network (or copy startup-config tftp)
privileged EXEC command. The command prompts you for the destination host’s address and a
filename, and then displays the instructions for confirmation. When you confirm the instructions, the
router sends a copy of the currently running configuration to the remote host. The system default is
to store the configuration in a file called by the name of the router with -confg appended. You can
either accept the default filename by pressingReturn at the prompt, or enter a different name before
pressing Return.
Follow these steps to upload (copy) the currently running configuration to a remote host:
Step 1 The system prompt should display a pound sign (#) to indicate the privileged level of the
EXEC command interpreter. If it does not, follow the steps in the section “Using the EXEC
Command Interpreter” on page 13 to enable the privileged level.
Step 2 Use theping command to check the connection between the router and the remote host.
(See the previous section, “Using the Ping Command.”)
Step 3 Issue thewrite term (or show running-config) command to display the currently running
configuration on the terminal, and ensure that the configuration information is complete
and correct. If it is not, use the configure command to add or modify the existing
configuration. (Refer to the appropriate software documentation for descriptions of the
configuration options available for the system and individual interfaces, and for specific
configuration instructions.)
