Save the running-configuration to:
EXEC Privilege
the startup-configuration on the
internal flash
copy running-config startup-config
an FTP server
copy running-config ftp://userid: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.
Then copy the new startup-config file to the
external flash.
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.
