Software Overview
Configure
There are four options to this command: memory, network, overwrite-
network, and terminal. The configure memory, configure network, and
configure overwrite-network commands allow you to retrieve and apply a
configuration file by saving the file as the router’s running-config. Using this
command causes your router to immediately begin using the specified config-
uration without rebooting the router.
The configure memory command pulls and activates the startup-config file
from compact flash memory. If no compact flash card is mounted, this
command pulls and activates the startup-config file from flash. The file you
intend to use must be named startup-config.
The configure network command pulls and applies a file from a TFTP server
as the running-config.
Enter configure overwrite-network to retrieve a file from a TFTP server
and save it as startup-config and startup-config.bak on compact flash. This
command only works if you have a compact flash card installed on the router.
Configure overwrite-network overwrites any existing startup-config file on
compact flash with the startup-config it retrieves from the TFTP server.
The last configure command, configure terminal, moves you to the CLI’s
global configuration mode context.
Copy
This command is used for managing configuration files and other files on your
router. It has the following syntax:
Syntax: copy <source file location> <source filename> <destination location> <des-
tination filename>
This command is used to copy and save files in the router’s internal flash and
compact flash memories. Table 1-5 gives the available options for the copy
command.
You can also use this command to save the changes you make in the running-
config to the startup-config. If you do not save these changes, the next time
the router reboots, all changes will be lost.
