router config upload

[ponetguy2]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to Cisco technology and I need to upload a config file that was provided to my by a third party vendor. I have the config as a txt file on my PC and I log on to the router via console. Please help me.

Thank you,

To upload a config, use xmodem or tftp. Start with "copy ?" for options.

You can also copy-and-paste the config into the terminal session. One caveat is that the config file probably doesn't include everything that you need. For example, if your interfaces are shutdown, you'll see "shutdown" under them. You won't see "no shutdown" in the config file, so they won't be turned on by pasting the config.

thank you for the quick reply lgarner. here is my current status.

right now my router is not configured. i am logged in through the console. i've downloaded and installed a tftp application on my pc. i guess i need to configure the ethernet port on the router and from there i should be able to do a tftp session.

can someone walk me through these steps? i would really appreciate it.

Haha, I did it.

thank you guys for the help!!!

lgarner was right. it's as simple as copy and paste on the console.

i logged in and went into enable mode. once i was in enable mode, i did a config t. from there i did a paste of the config that was provided for me. i doulbe checked if the config i pasted was saved on the running-config by doing a show running-config. next, i did a copy running-config startup-config to save it on my nvram to make it permanent.

thank you once again!!!
