Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1. Save the current configuration.
2. Specify the configuration file to be loaded at the next startup of the router.
3. Specify the system software to be loaded at the next startup of the router.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
l Name of the configuration file
l File name of the system software
Procedure
Step 1 Check the configuration file and system software that were used during the current startup.
<Huawei> display startup
MainBoard:
Startup system software: usb0:/ar0312.cc
Next startup system software: usb0:/ar0312.cc
Backup system software for next startup: null
Startup saved-configuration file: flash:/iascfg.zip
Next startup saved-configuration file: flash:/iascfg.zip
Startup license file: null
Next startup license file: null
Startup patch package: null
Next startup patch package: null
Startup voice-files: null
Next startup voice-files: null
Step 2 Save the current configuration to the specified file.
<Huawei> save vrpcfg.cfg
The system asks you whether you want to save the current configuration to the file named
arcfg.cfg on the main control board. Enter y to save the configuration.
Step 3 Specify the configuration file to be loaded at the next startup of the router.
<Huawei> startup saved-configuration usb0:/arcfg.cfg
Step 4 Specify the system software to be loaded at the next startup of the router.
Specify the system software to be loaded at the next startup of the main control board.
<Huawei> startup system-software usb0:/arsoft.cc
NOTE
The software package arsoft.cc has been loaded to the AR1200. For details on how to upload the software
package, see 6.3 Managing Files Using FTP.
Step 5 Verify the configuration.
After the configuration is complete, run the following command to check which configuration
file and system software will be loaded at the next startup of the router.
<Huawei> display startup
MainBoard:
Startup system software: usb0:/ar0312.cc
Next startup system software: usb0:/arsoft.cc
Backup system software for next startup: null
