Copying the Saved Configuration to NVRAM Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information 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 hostname 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. Before configuring the new interfaces on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, be prepared with the following information: • Protocols and encapsulations you plan to use on the new interface • Protocol-specific information, such as IP addresses if you will configure the interface for IP routing For complete descriptions of interface commands and the configuration options available for Cisco 7200 VXR-related interfaces, refer to the documentation resources listed in the "Related Documentation" section on page iii. To retrieve the saved router configuration from the remote host, complete the following steps: 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. Note Until you retrieve the saved configuration, the router runs from the default configuration in NVRAM. Therefore, any passwords that were previously configured on the system are not valid until you retrieve the configuration. Step 2 Step 3 Use the ping command to check the connection between the router and the remote host (the remote file server to which you copied the configuration file). At the system prompt, enter the copy tftp running-config command and press Return to enter configuration mode. Specify that you will configure the system from a network device (instead of from the console terminal, which is the default).
