Copying the Saved Configuration to NVRAM
You have finished copying and writing the saved configuration file to NVRAM.
Copying the Saved Configuration File from the CompactFlash Disk
If you have been able to copy the configuration file to the CompactFlash Disk, use the following steps
to copy the configuration to the NVRAM on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.
Step 1 Make sure you are at the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (check the system prompt
for a pound sign [#]). If the system prompt does not have a pound sign (#), enter enable, and then your
password.
Step 2 Insert the CompactFlash Disk containing the saved configuration file into the CompactFlash Disk slot
on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.
Step 3 Enter the copy disk2: filename command.
Router# copy disk2: filename running
Step 4 Enter the write command:
Router#: write
You have finished copying and writing the saved configuration file to NVRAM.
Downloading the Saved Configuration from the TFTP Server
After you install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 in the router and verify a successful router boot, you must
retrieve the router configuration from the TFTP server and copy it to NVRAM. Use the copy tftp
running-config command to copy the saved configuration from the TFTP file server. The system
prompts you for a host name and address, the name of the configuration file stored on the host, and
confirmation to reboot using the remote file.
After the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is installed, save the router configuration file to NVRAM (the default is
the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 NVRAM) using the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config
command as follows:
Router# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config
You will want to configure the NPE-G1or NPE-G2 interfaces after retrieving the router configuration
and copying it to NVRAM.
Before retrieving the router configuration file from the TFTP server, check the following:
• A console terminal is connected to the console port on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, or a Telnet session
is established to the router.
• The router is connected to a network supporting a file server (remote host).
• The remote host supports the TFTP application.
• You have the name or address of the remote host.
