Booting Router-confg ..... [timed out]
• If the display indicates that the process was successful, proceed to the next step.
• If the display indicates that the process failed, verify the name or address of the remote server and
the filename, and repeat the preceding steps. If you are unable to retrieve the configuration, contact
your network administrator or see the “Obtaining Technical Assistance” section on page vii for
instructions on contacting Cisco technical assistance.
Step 8 Enter the show running-config command to display the currently running configuration on the
terminal. Review the display and ensure that the configuration information is complete and correct. If it
is not, verify the filename and repeat the preceding steps to retrieve the correct file, or 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 specific configuration instructions.)
Step 9 When you have verified that the currently running configuration is correct, enter the
copy running-config startup-config command to save the retrieved configuration in NVRAM.
Otherwise, the new configuration will be lost when you restart the system.
This completes the procedure for downloading the saved router configuration from the remote host.
Proceed to the “Configuring the Native Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces” section on page 7-54.
Auxiliary and Console Port Information
If the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 and an I/O controller are both installed in the same system, the console and
auxiliary ports on the I/O controller are used and the console and auxiliary ports on the NPE-G1 or
NPE-G2 are disabled by Cisco IOS.
Both the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 and the I/O controller console ports are available from the ROM monitor
(ROMmon); however, once the system has completed loading the Cisco IOS image, the console port on
the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is disabled if an I/O controller is also installed in the router.
If the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is used without an I/O controller, the console and auxiliary ports on the
NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 are available both during and after loading the Cisco IOS image.
Configuring an Auxiliary Port to Receive Console Port Messages
If you choose to have console port messages routed to the auxiliary port, use the Cisco IOS command
terminal monitor on the auxiliary port on which you desire to receive console messages.

Configuring the Native Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
The NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 reports both the RJ-45 and GBIC or SFP GE interface ports as
GigabitEthernet 0/1, GigabitEthernet 0/2, and GigabitEthernet 0/3. Each interface has two ports with
two different media types, GBIC or SFP, or RJ-45 (default). You can use only one port for each interface,
and before configuring either port type, you must first use the media-type interface command to select
the media type, GBIC (gbic) for NPE-G1 or SFP (sfp) for NPE-G2, or RJ-45 (rj45) port.
