Copying the Startup Configuration File from NVRAM to a Flash Memory Card
Use the following procedure to copy a configuration file from NVRAM to a flash
memory card.
Step 1 Enter the show bootvar command to display the current setting for the
environmental CONFIG_FILE variable.
Note The environmental CONFIG_FILE variable must point to NVRAM
(system default).
Milo# show bootvar
.
.
.
CONFIG_FILE variable =
Current CONFIG_FILE variable =
.
.
.

The absence of any notation following the CONFIG_FILE variable statement as
shown in this example indicates that the environmental variable is pointing to
NVRAM.
Step 2 Enter the copy command in the following form:
copy startup-config [slot0: | slot1:] filename
Where:
• startup-config is the source configuration file in NVRAM.
• [slot0: | slot1:] specifies the destination of the configuration file to be copied.
• filename is the name of the configuration file.
