Saving Configuration Changes
Saving Configuration Changes
Use the copy running-config startup-config command to save your configuration changes to the startup
configuration so that the changes will not be lost if the software reloads or a power outage occurs. For
example:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Building configuration...
It might take a minute or two to save the configuration. After the configuration has been saved, the
following output appears:
[OK]
Router#
This task saves the configuration to NVRAM.
Managing Configuration Files
On the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, the startup configuration file is stored in the nvram: file system
and the running-configuration files are stored in the system: file system. This configuration file storage
setup is not unique to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers and is used on several Cisco router platforms.
As a matter of routine maintenance on any Cisco router, users should backup the startup configuration
file by copying the startup configuration file from NVRAM onto one of the router’s other file systems
and, additionally, onto a network server. Backing up the startup configuration file provides an easy
method of recovering the startup configuration file in the event the startup configuration file in NVRAM
becomes unusable for any reason.
The copy command can be used to backup startup configuration files. The following examples show the
startup configuration file in NVRAM being backed up:
