The syntax for this command is:
copy startup-config [[ftp ftp_record|tftp ip_or_host]filename|
running-config]
The options and variable for this command are as follows:
•
ftp ftp_record - Copies the startup-configuration file to an FTP server. The
name of the FTP record file contains the FTP server IP address, username,
and password. Enter an unquoted text string with no spaces. To create an FTP
record, use the ftp-record global configuration mode command.
tftp ip_or_host - Copies the startup-config file to a TFTP server. Enter an IP
•
address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.1) or in
mnemonic host-name format (for example, myhost.mydomain.com).
filename - Name you want to assign to the file on the server. Include the full
•
path to the file. Enter an unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum
length of 32 characters.
running-config - Copies the startup configuration and merges with the
•
running configuration file on the CSS disk.
To reset the CSS running configuration to the default configuration, use the clear
running-config command in SuperUser mode. This command takes effect
immediately. The clear running-config command resets all configurations to
their defaults.
Use of the clear running-config command is restricted to CSS users who are
identified as either administrators or technicians.
For example:
# clear running-config
To reset the startup configuration to the default configuration, use the clear
startup-config command in SuperUser mode. This command takes effect upon
the next reboot. For example:
# clear startup-config
