To store information on a remote host, enter the write network (or copy startup-conﬁg tftp)

privileged EXEC command. The command prompts you for the destination host's address and a

ﬁlename, then display the instructions for conﬁrmation. When you conﬁrm the instructions, the

router sends a copy of the currently running conﬁguration to the remote host. The system default is

to store the conﬁguration in a ﬁle called by the name of the router with -confg appended. You can

either accept the default ﬁlename by pressing Return at the prompt, or enter a different name before

pressing Return.

Follow these steps to upload (copy) the currently running conﬁguration to a remote host:

Step 1

The system prompt should display a pound sign (#) to indicate the privileged level of the

EXEC command interpreter. If it does not, enter enable, and then your password, to get to

the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter.

Use the ping command to check the connection between the router and the remote host.

Step 2

Issue the write term (or show running-conﬁg) command to display the currently running

Step 3

conﬁguration on the terminal, and ensure that the conﬁguration information is complete

and correct. If it is not, use the conﬁgure command to add or modify the existing

conﬁguration. Then, issue the copy running-conﬁg startup-conﬁg command to save the

retrieved conﬁguration in NVRAM. (Refer to the appropriate software documentation for

descriptions of the conﬁguration options available for the system and individual interfaces,

and for speciﬁc conﬁguration instructions.)

Issue the write net (or copy startup-conﬁg tftp) command. The EXEC command

Step 4

interpreter prompts you for the name or interface processor address of the remote host that

is to receive the conﬁguration ﬁle. (The prompt might include the name or address of a

default ﬁle server.)

Router# write net

Remote host []?

Enter the name or interface processor address of the remote host. In the following example,

Step 5

the name of the remote server is servername:

Router# write net

Remote host []? servername

Translating "servername"...domain server (1.1.1.1) [OK]

The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for the name of the ﬁle that will contain the

Step 6

conﬁguration. By default, the system appends -confg to the router's name to create the new

ﬁlename. Press Return to accept the default ﬁlename, or enter a different name for the ﬁle

before pressing Return. In the following example, the default is accepted:

Name of configuration file to write [Router-confg]?

Write file Router-confg on host 1.1.1.1? [confirm]

Writing Router-confg .....

Before the router executes the copy process, it displays the instructions you entered for

Step 7

conﬁrmation. If the instructions are not correct, enter n (no) then Return to abort the

process. To accept the instructions, press Return or y then Return, and the system will

begin the copy process. In the following example, the default is accepted:

Write file Router-confg on host 1.1.1.1? [confirm]

Writing Router-confg: !!!! [ok]

While the router copies the conﬁguration to the remote host, it displays a series of

exclamation points (! ! !) or periods (. . .). The !!!! and [ok] indicate that the operation is

successful. A display of . . . [timed out] or [failed] indicates a failure, which would probably

be due to a network fault or the lack of a writable, readable ﬁle on the remote ﬁle server.
