to the compact flash card, if present, as startup-config. Otherwise the
running-config will be saved as startup-config on the router’s internal
flash.
■ write erase. This command erases the startup-config. If you have a
compact flash card, the startup-config is erased from cflash. If you are
running the AutoSynch feature, this command erases startup-config from
both flash and compact flash. If you do not have a compact flash card, the
file is erased from flash.
■ write network. This command saves the running-config to a TFTP server.
Enter a filename meaningful to you when you are prompted with Desti-
nation filename?.
■ write terminal. This command is similar to the show running-config
command; it displays the current running-configuration in the CLI.
show tech
Unlike the other show commands, the show tech command does not display
the information in the CLI. This command creates a file named showtech.txt
in internal flash that contains a summary of the router’s show command
information.
To create this file, enter show tech from the enable mode context. This will
prepare the showtech.txt file and save it in the router’s internal flash.
After the showtech.txt file is created, you can save it to compact flash or
upload it to a TFTP server. You can also save the contents of the showtech.txt
file to your terminal’s text editor. See “Managing Configuration Files Using a
Text Editor” on page 1-75 for more information on performing these tasks.
(When following the steps for copying a file, replace <filename> with show-
tech.txt.)
Note The showtech.txt file is saved to internal flash. If you intend to use a compact
flash card to transport the file, you must save the showtech.txt file to compact
flash.
The showtech.txt file contains a readout of many of the show commands:
■ show version
■ show modules
■ show cflash
■ show run verbose
■ show interfaces
■ show atm pvc
