Copying a Configuration File from a Flash Memory Card to NVRAM

Following is the procedure for copying your configuration file from the Flash memory card in the

PCMCIA slot, back to NVRAM. Use the command copy [ slot0 | slot1 ]:filename startup-config

An example of the copy slot0:filename startup-config command follows:

Router# copy slot0:myfile1 startup-config
