Saving Configuration Changes Chapter 2 Using Cisco IOS XE Software Saving Configuration Changes Use the copy running-config startup-config command to save your configuration changes to the startup configuration so that the changes will not be lost if the software reloads or a power outage occurs. For example: Router# copy running-config startup-config Building configuration... It might take a minute or two to save the configuration. After the configuration has been saved, the following output appears: [OK] Router# This task saves the configuration to NVRAM. Managing Configuration Files On the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, the startup configuration file is stored in the nvram: file system and the running-configuration files are stored in the system: file system. This configuration file storage setup is not unique to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers and is used on several Cisco router platforms. As a matter of routine maintenance on any Cisco router, users should backup the startup configuration file by copying the startup configuration file from NVRAM onto one of the router's other file systems and, additionally, onto a network server. Backing up the startup configuration file provides an easy method of recovering the startup configuration file in the event the startup configuration file in NVRAM becomes unusable for any reason. The copy command can be used to backup startup configuration files. The following examples show the startup configuration file in NVRAM being backed up: Example 1: Copying a Startup Configuration File to Bootflash Router# dir bootflash: Directory of bootflash:/ 11 drwx 16384 Dec 4 2007 04:32:46 -08:00 86401 drwx 4096 Dec 4 2007 06:06:24 -08:00 14401 drwx 4096 Dec 4 2007 06:06:36 -08:00 28801 drwx 4096 May 29 2008 16:31:41 -07:00 43201 drwx 4096 Dec 4 2007 04:34:45 -08:00 12 -rw- 208904396 May 28 2008 16:17:34 -07:00 asr1000rp1-adventerprisek9.02.01.00.122-33.XNA.bin lost+found .ssh .rollback_timer .prst_sync .installer Router# copy nvram:startup-config bootflash: Destination filename [startup-config]? 3517 bytes copied in 0.647 secs (5436 bytes/sec) Router# dir bootflash: Directory of bootflash:/ 11 86401 14401 28801 43201 drwx drwx drwx drwx drwx 16384 4096 4096 4096 4096 Dec 4 2007 04:32:46 -08:00 Dec 4 2007 06:06:24 -08:00 Dec 4 2007 06:06:36 -08:00 May 29 2008 16:31:41 -07:00 Dec 4 2007 04:34:45 -08:00 lost+found .ssh .rollback_timer .prst_sync .installer 2-12 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide OL-16506-10

Saving Configuration Changes
Saving Configuration Changes
Use the
copy running-config startup-config
command to save your configuration changes to the startup
configuration so that the changes will not be lost if the software reloads or a power outage occurs. For
example:
Router#
copy running-config startup-config
Building configuration...
It might take a minute or two to save the configuration. After the configuration has been saved, the
following output appears:
[OK]
Router#
This task saves the configuration to NVRAM.
Managing Configuration Files
On the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, the startup configuration file is stored in the nvram: file system
and the running-configuration files are stored in the system: file system. This configuration file storage
setup is not unique to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers and is used on several Cisco router platforms.
As a matter of routine maintenance on any Cisco router, users should backup the startup configuration
file by copying the startup configuration file from NVRAM onto one of the router’s other file systems
and, additionally, onto a network server. Backing up the startup configuration file provides an easy
method of recovering the startup configuration file in the event the startup configuration file in NVRAM
becomes unusable for any reason.
The
copy
command can be used to backup startup configuration files. The following examples show the
startup configuration file in NVRAM being backed up:
