Viewing, Saving, and Erasing
Configurations
If you run through setup mode, you’ll be asked if you want to use the configuration you just
created. If you say yes, then it will copy the configuration running in DRAM (known as the
running-config) into NVRAM and name the file startup-config. Hopefully, you always will
use the CLI or SDM and not setup mode.
You can manually save the file from DRAM to NVRAM by using the copy running-
config startup-config command (you can use the shortcut copy run start):
Todd#copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]? [press enter]
Building configuration...
[OK]
Todd#
Building configuration...
When you see a question with an answer in [], it means that if you just press Enter, you’re
choosing the default answer.
Also, when the command asks for the destination filename, the default answer is startup-
config. The reason it asks is because you can copy the configuration pretty much anywhere
you want. Take a look:
Todd#copy running-config ?
