Using the Running-Config and Startup-Config Files Chapter 1 Managing the CSS Software • copy startup-config running-config - Copies the contents of the startup-config file to the running-config file and merges the contents with the running-config file. This command is available in SuperUser mode. Copying the Running- and Startup-Config Files The copy running-config command can also copy the running configuration to an FTP or TFTP server. This command is available in SuperUser mode. Note If desired, use the save_config alias command to automatically copy the contents of the running-config file to the startup-config file, and then archive the startup-config file to the CSS disk. The syntax for this command is: copy running-config [[ftp ftp_record|tftp ip_or_host]filename| startup-config] The options and variables for this command are as follows: • ftp ftp_record filename - Copies the running-config file to an FTP server. The name of the FTP record file contains the FTP server IP address, username, and password. Enter an unquoted text string with no spaces. To create an FTP record, use the ftp-record global configuration mode command. • tftp ip_or_host - Copies the running-config file to a TFTP server. Enter an IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.1) or in mnemonic host-name format (for example, myhost.mydomain.com). • filename - Name you want to assign to the file on the server. Include the full path to the file. Enter an unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum length of 32 characters. • startup-config - Copies the running-config file to the startup-config file on the CSS disk. In the event of the CSS rebooting, if you do not save changes in the running-config file to the startup-config file, these changes are lost. The copy startup-config command can copy the startup configuration to an FTP or TFTP server. This command is available in SuperUser mode.
