Custom Configuration File for Cisco 892FSP, 896VA, 897VA, and Cisco 898EA
For the first method, the configuration file can be located on the router's compact flash or on the router's
nvram. The custom configuration file must use cfg as the filename extension.
When the system attempts to load a custom configuration file, configuration files on nvram have priority
over configuration files on the router's compact flash.
The priority for loading a configuration file is as follows:
1. nvram: *.cfg
2. Router flash: *.cfg
If the router does not find a valid custom configuration file, the system aborts the process.
