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
see the changes and copy run-start stored in NVRAM.
Saving the Running Configuration to NVRAM
To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, run the copy running-config
startup-config command:
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.
If you are using the Cisco ASR 1013 Router, see the caution notice in the Powering Off the Cisco ASR 1000
Series Router Safely, on page 470.
Powering Off the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Safely
This section explains how to shut down the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router. It is recommended that before
turning off all power to the chassis, you issue the reload command. This insures that the operating system
cleans up all the file systems. After the reload operation is complete, then the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router
can be powered off safely.
If you are going to power cycle a Cisco ASR 1013 Router, we recommend that you first perform a graceful
reload on the router. Power cycling the router without first performing a graceful reload might cause a
loss of data stored in the NVRAM. In other words, the configuration file might be lost. Note that this is
not observed when a power failure occurs because each active power supply in the two power supply
zones is power cycled at the same time during a power failure. If there is a chance that the router might
be power cycled without a graceful reload, we recommend that you use the boot config
file-system:configuration-file nvbypass command to specify a file system other than the NVRAM for
storing the configuration file. The following are examples:Router(config)# boot config
harddisk:config_file.cfg nvbypassRouter(config)# boot config bootflash:configuration_data.cfg
nvbypass
