You can specify more than one host configuration file. The Cisco IOS

ration file hostfile1 and from the network configuration file
networkfile1:
Router1# configure terminal
Router1(config)# boot host hostfile1
Router1(config)# boot network networkfile1
Router1(config)# service config
^Z
Router1# copy running-config startup-config
