To save the running-configuration:
Configure the Overload bit for Startup Scenario
For information on setting the router overload bit for a specific period of time after a switch reload is
implemented, see the FTOS Command Line Reference Guide, Chapter 18 - Intermediate System to
Intermediate System (IS-IS).
Note: The commands in this section follow the same format as those in Copy Files to and from the
System in the Getting Started chapter but use the filenames startup-configuration and
running-configuration. These commands assume that current directory is the internal flash, which is the
system default.
Task Command Syntax Command Mode
Save the running-configuration to:
EXEC Privilege
the startup-configuration on the
internal flash of the primary RPM
copy running-config startup-config
the internal flash on an RPM copy running-config rpm{0|1}flash://filename
Note: The internal flash memories on the RPMs are synchronized whenever there is a
change, but only if the RPMs are running the same version of FTOS.
the external flash of an RPM copy running-config rpm{0|1}slot0://filename
an FTP server
copy running-config ftp://
username:password
@{hostip | hostname}/filepath/
filename
a TFTP server copy running-config tftp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
an SCP server copy running-config scp://{hostip | hostname}/
filepath/filename
Note: When copying to a server, a hostname can only be used if a DNS server is configured.
Save the running-configuration to the
startup-configuration on the internal flash
of the primary RPM. Then copy the new
startup-config file to the external flash of
the primary RPM.
copy running-config startup-config duplicate
EXEC Privilege
FTOS Behavior: If you create a startup-configuration on an RPM and then move the RPM to another chassis, the
startup-configuration is stored as a backup file (with the extension .bak), and a new, empty startup-configuration file
is created. To restore your original startup-configuration in this situation, overwrite the new startup-configuration
with the original one using the command copy startup-config.bak startup-config.
