Performing Other Configuration Tasks
Router(config)# interface serial
slot/port
Router(config-int)#
In either configuration mode, you can now enter any changes to the configuration. Press Ctrl-Z (hold
down the Control key while you press Z) or enter end to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC
command interpreter.
Step 5 Save your settings to NVRAM. (See the “Saving the Running Configuration to NVRAM” section on
page 4-15.) If you do not save the configuration setting that you created in the router using configuration
mode and the setup facility, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
Your router is now minimally configured and will boot with the configuration you have entered. To see
a list of the configuration commands available to you, enter ? at the prompt or press the Help key while
in configuration mode.
Saving the Running Configuration to NVRAM
To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, enter the copy
running-config startup-config command at the
Router# prompt:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Using this command saves the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration
mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload
the router.
Checking the Running Configuration Settings
To check the value of the settings you have entered, enter the show running-config command at the
Router#
prompt:
Router# show running-config
To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC mode show startup-config command
to display the information stored in NVRAM.
Performing Other Configuration Tasks
To make advanced configuration changes after you establish the basic startup configuration for your
router, refer to the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco
IOS
software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your
Cisco hardware. These publications contain additional information on using the configure command.
The configuration publications also provide information about the following tasks:
• Understanding and working with the user interface on your router
• Booting and rebooting the router
• Setting the configuration register
