Cisco Systems RSP7000 manual Router# write net

Installation Prerequisites

Step 4 Issue the write net (or copy startup-config tftp ) command. The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for the name or interface processor address of the remote host that is to receive the configuration file. (The prompt might include the name or address of a default file server.)

Router# write net

Remote host []?

Step 5 Enter the name or interface processor address of the remote host. In the following example, the name of the remote server is servername:

Router# write net

Remote host []? servername

Translating "servername"...domain server (1.1.1.1) [OK]

Step 6 The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for the name of the file that will contain the configuration. By default, the system appends -confgto the router’s name to create the new filename. Press Return to accept the default filename, or enter a different name for the file before pressing Return. In the following example, the default is accepted:

Name of configuration file to write [Router-confg]?

Write file Router-confg on host 1.1.1.1? [confirm]

Writing Router-confg .....

Step 7 Before the router executes the copy process, it displays the instructions you entered for confirmation. If the instructions are not correct, enter n (no) then Return to abort the process. To accept the instructions, press Return or y then Return, and the system will begin the copy process. In the following example, the default is accepted:

Write file Router-confg on host 1.1.1.1? [confirm]

Writing Router-confg: !!!! [ok]

While the router copies the configuration to the remote host, it displays a series of exclamation points (! ! !) or periods (. . .). The !!!! and [ok] indicate that the operation is successful. A display of . . . [timed out] or [failed] indicates a failure, which would probably be due to a network fault or the lack of a writable, readable file on the remote file server.

Step 8 If the display indicates that the process was successful (with the series of ! ! ! and [ok]), the upload process is complete. The configuration is safely stored in the temporary file on the remote file server.

If the display indicates that the process failed (with the series of . . . as shown in the following example):

Writing Router-confg .....

your configuration was not saved. Repeat the preceding steps, or select a different remote file server and repeat the preceding steps.

After you upload the configuration file, proceed to “Removing the RSP7000” on page 18. If you are unable to copy the configuration to a remote host successfully, contact your network administrator or refer to the end of this document for instructions on contacting technical assistance.
