upload configuration

[karib]

Hi
I have a configuration file of a router on my linux-server. Now, I need to transfer it to a Cisco 2501 router. I do not have tftp.
What are all the options to get the configuration on there? Is it possible to write a little script to make a connection and then send the lines one by one??
I don't know if this makes any sense... I am new to Cisco routers.
Thanks,
Karib

if you can use something like a text editor in linus you can select and copy your configuration.
open a connection to the router and go to config mode
then paste back what is in memory.
Thie will write back the configuration

Hi

A couple of issues.

If you are going to edit the text at all use a simple text editor like notepad. Word processors add control characters in to the text and can cause problems in reloading or executing the config.

Cisco used to make a tftp server available on their website, but they no longer support this. Instead they recommend downloading a shareware tftp server from

http://www.walusoft.com

It is worth getting this if you are likely to handle config or IOS files on a frequent basis.

Here is a sample script, which configures a static route on router 10.2.2.2
-----------------------
# Usage ./rtr-script < seed_file >>output_file
##################################################
#!/bin/sh
while read RADDR RNAME PW EPW
do
{ #echo $PW
echo cisco ! local password
sleep 1
echo enable
echo cisco ! enable password
echo conf t
echo ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1 --> u can use any command here
echo exit
echo quit
sleep 2
} | telnet $RADDR
done

-----------
seed_file
10.2.2.2 (just the ip address of your router), you can expand it to name, password, enable pwd
