Save the running configuration to NVRAM. See the “Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM” section on page 28. If you do
not save the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility, your configuration
will be lost the next time you reload the router.
Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM
To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, enter the copy running-config startup-config
command at the
Router# prompt:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Using this command saves the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup
facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
Check the Running Configuration Settings
To check the value of the settings you have entered, enter the show running-config command at the
Router#
prompt:
Router# show running-config
To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC mode show startup-config command to display the information
stored in NVRAM.
View Your System Configuration
You can use the show version (or show hardware) and the show diag commands to display the system hardware, the software
version, the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images. Use the show diag command to determine what type
of port adapter is installed.
For specific information on the show version, show diag, and other commands, refer to the modular configuration and modular
command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software
release installed on your Cisco hardware.
Perform Complex Configurations
After you have installed your Cisco 7301 router hardware and minimally configured the system, you might need to perform
more complex configurations, which are beyond the scope of this publication.
For specific information on system and interface configuration, refer to the modular configuration and modular command
reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release
installed on your Cisco hardware. These publications contain additional information on using the configure command.
Replace or Recover a Lost Password
See the Cisco 7301 Installation and Configuration Guide, Chapter 3, “Starting and Configuring the Router” for instructions.
It is possible to recover the enable or console login password. The enable secret password is encrypted and must be replaced
with a new enable secret password.
