Saving 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.
Safely Powering Off the Cisco Router
This section explains how to shut down the Cisco Router. It is recommended that before turning off all power
to the chassis, you issue the
reload
command. This insures that the operating system cleans up all the file
systems. Once the reload operation is complete, then the Cisco Router can be powered off safely.
To remove power from the Cisco Router safely, follow this procedure and see the examples:
Step 1
Slip on the ESD-preventive wrist strap that was included in the accessory kit.
Step 2
Enter the
reload
command.
Step 3
Confirm the reload command.
Example:
Router#
reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]

Step 4
After confirming the reload command, wait until the system bootstrap message displays before powering off the system.
Example:

Step 5
Remove any power cables from the Cisco Router.
a) For power supplies with a circuit breaker switch, position the switch to the Off (O) position.
b) For power supplies with a Standby switch, place the Standby switch in the Standby position.
After powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.
