Part 5: (Optional) Use a USB Drive to Back Up and Restore the Running Configuration

Background / Scenario

Cisco networking devices are often upgraded or swapped out for a number of reasons. It is important to maintain backups of the latest device configurations, as well as a history of configuration changes. A TFTP server is often used to backup configuration files and IOS images in production networks. A TFTP server is a centralized and secure method used to store the backup copies of the files and restore them as necessary. Using a centralized TFTP server, you can back up files from many different Cisco devices.

In addition to a TFTP server, most of the current Cisco routers can back up and restore files locally from CompactFlash (CF) memory or a USB flash drive. The CF is a removable memory module that has replaced the limited internal flash memory of earlier router models. The IOS image for the router resides in the CF memory, and the router uses this IOS Image for the boot process. With the larger size of the CF memory, additional files can be stored for backup purposes. A removable USB flash drive can also be used for backup purposes.

In this lab, you will use TFTP server software to back up the Cisco device running configuration to the TFTP server. You can edit the file using a text editor and copy the new configuration back to a Cisco device. The instructions here for the TFTP server configuration and operation are generic and there may be some differences in terminology with your TFTP server software.

Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 (universalk9 image). The switches used in the labs are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab for the correct interface identifiers.

Note: Ensure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure contact your instructor.

Answers Note: Refer to the Answers Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices

Required Resources

• 1 Router (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.3 universal image or comparable)
• 1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)

Instructions

Part 1:  Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings, such as the interface IP addresses for router R1, switch S1 and PC-A.

Step 1:  Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.

Step 2:  Configure basic settings for the router.

Open configuration window

1. Assign a device name to the router.

router(config)# hostname R1

2. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered commands as though they were host names.

R1(config)# no ip domain-lookup

3. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.

R1(config)# enable secret class

4. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.

R1(config)# line console 0

R1(config-line)# password cisco

R1(config-line)# login

5. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login.

R1(config)# line vty 0 4

R1(config-line)# password cisco

R1(config-line)# login

6. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.

R1(config)# service password-encryption

7. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited.

R1(config)# banner motd $ Authorized Users Only! $

8. Configure interfaces as listed in the table above.

R1(config-if)# interface g0/0/1

R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

R1(config-if)# no shutdown

R1(config-if)# end

9. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

R1# copy running-config startup-config

Note: Use the question mark (?) to help with the correct sequence of parameters needed to execute this command.

Close configuration window

Step 3:  Configure basic settings for the switch.

Open configuration window

1. Assign a device name to the switch.

switch(config)# hostname S1

2. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered commands as though they were host names.

S1(config)# no ip domain-lookup

3. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password.

S1(config)# enable secret class

4. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login.

S1(config)# line console 0

S1(config-line)# password cisco

S1(config-line)# login

5. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login.

S1(config)# line vty 0 4

S1(config-line)# password cisco

S1(config-line)# login

6. Encrypt the plaintext passwords.

S1(config)# service password-encryption

7. Create a banner that warns anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited.

S1(config)# banner motd $ Authorized Users Only! $

8. Shut down all unused interfaces.

S1(config)# interface range f0/1-4, f0/7-24, g0/1-2

S1(config-if-range)# shutdown

S1(config-if-range)# end

9. Configure interface VLAN 1 as specified in the table above.

S1(config)# interface vlan 1

S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0

S1(config-if)# no shutdown

S1(config-if)# exit

S1(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1

10. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

S1# copy running-config startup-config

Note: Use the question mark (?) to help with the correct sequence of parameters needed to execute this command.

Close configuration window

Step 4:  Verify connectivity from PC-A.

1. Ping from PC-A to S1.
2. Ping from PC-A to R1.

If the pings are not successful, troubleshoot the basic device configurations before continuing.

Part 2:  Use TFTP to Back Up and Restore the Switch Running Configuration

Step 1:  Verify connectivity to switch S1 from PC-A.

The TFTP application uses the UDP Layer 4 transport protocol, which is encapsulated in an IP packet. For TFTP file transfers to function, there must be Layer 1 and 2 (Ethernet, in this case) and Layer 3 (IP) connectivity between the TFTP client and the TFTP server. The LAN topology in this lab uses only Ethernet at Layers 1 and 2. However, TFTP transfers can also be accomplished over WAN links that use other Layer 1 physical links and Layer 2 protocols. As long as there is IP connectivity between the client and server, as demonstrated by ping, the TFTP transfer can take place. If the pings are not successful, troubleshoot the basic device configurations before continuing.

Note: A common misconception is that you can TFTP a file over the console connection. This is not the case because the console connection does not use IP. The TFTP transfer can be initiated from the client device (router or switch) using the console connection, but there must be IP connectivity between the client and server for the file transfer to take place.

Step 2:  Start the TFTP server.

Start the TFTP program on PC-A. Ensure that the TFTP program is using a directory that you have WRITE permission for, such as a folder on your desktop.

Step 3:  Explore the copy command on a Cisco device.

1. Console into switch S1 and, from the privileged EXEC mode prompt, enter copy ? to display the options for source or “from” location and other available copy options. You can specify flash: or flash0: as the source. However, if you simply provide a filename as the source, flash0: is assumed and is the default. Note that running-config is also an option for the source location.

Open configuration window

S1# copy ?

  /erase          Erase destination file system.

  /error          Allow to copy error file.

  /noverify       Don’t verify image signature before reload.

  /verify         Verify image signature before reload.

  bs:             Copy from bs: file system

  cns:            Copy from cns: file system

  tmpsys:         Copy from tmpsys: file system

  vb:             Copy from vb: file system

  xmodem:         Copy from xmodem: file system

  ymodem:         Copy from ymodem: file system

2. Use the ? to display the destination options after a source file location is chosen. The flash: file system for S1 is the source file system in this example.

S1# copy flash: ?

  flash:          Copy to flash: file system

  ftp:            Copy to ftp: file system

  http:           Copy to http: file system

  https:          Copy to https: file system

  null:           Copy to null: file system

  nvram:          Copy to nvram: file system

  rcp:            Copy to rcp: file system

  running-config  Update (merge with) current system configuration

  scp:            Copy to scp: file system

  startup-config  Copy to startup configuration

  system:         Copy to system: file system

  tftp:           Copy to tftp: file system

  tmpsys:         Copy to tmpsys: file system

  vb:             Copy to vb: file systesystem

Step 4:  Transfer the running-config file from switch S1 to TFTP server on PC-A.

1. From the privileged EXEC mode on the switch, enter the copy running-config tftp: command. Provide the remote host address of the TFTP server (PC-A), 192.168.1.3. Press Enter to accept default destination filename (s1-confg) or provide your own filename. The exclamation marks (!!) indicate the transfer process is in progress and is successful.

S1# copy running-config tftp:

Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.1.3

Destination filename [s1-confg]?

!!

1465 bytes copied in 0.663 secs (2210 bytes/sec)

S1#

The TFTP server may also displays transfer progress.

Note: If you do not have permission to write to the current directory that is used by the TFTP server, the following error message displays:

S1# copy running-config tftp:

Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.1.3

Destination filename [s1-confg]?

%Error opening tftp://192.168.1.3/s1-confg (Permission denied)

Note: Other issues, such as a firewall blocking TFTP traffic, can prevent the TFTP transfer. Please check with your instructor for further assistance.

2. Check the directory on the TFTP server (usually the default directory for the TFTP server software) to verify that the file was transferred successfully. Your TFTP server may have a dialog for this, or you can simply use the File Explorer provided by your Operating System.

Step 5:  Create a modified switch running configuration file.

The saved running configuration file, s1-confg, can also be restored to the switch by using the copy command from the switch. The original or a modified version of the file can be copied to the flash file system of the switch.

1. Navigate to the TFTP directory on PC-A by using the file system of PC-A, and then locate the s1-confg file. Open this file using a text editor program, such as WordPad.
2. With the file open, locate the hostname S1 line. Replace S1 with Switch1. Delete all the self-generated crypto keys, as necessary. A sample of the keys is displayed below. These keys are not exportable and can cause errors while updating the running configuration.

3. Save this file as a plain text file with a new filename, Switch1-confg.txt, in this example.

Note: When saving the file, an extension, such as .txt, may be added to the filename automatically.

4. If your TFTP software has the option, use it to show the contents of its directory to verify that the file is present.

Step 6:  Copy the modified running configuration file from the TFTP server to switch S1.

1. From the privileged EXEC mode on the switch, enter the copy tftp running-config command. Provide the remote host address of the TFTP server, 192.168.1.3. Enter the new filename, Switch1-confg.txt. The exclamation mark (!) indicates the transfer process is in progress and is successful.

S1# copy tftp: running-config

Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.1.3

Source filename []? Switch1-confg.txt

Destination filename [running-config]?

Accessing tftp://192.168.1.3/Switch1-confg.txt…

Loading Switch1-confg.txt from 192.168.1.3 (via Vlan1): !

Switch1#

After the transfer has completed, the prompt has changed from S1 to Switch1, because the running configuration is updated with the hostname Switch1 command in the modified running configuration.

2. Enter the show running-config command to examine running configuration file.

Switch1# show running-config

close configuration window

Note: This procedure merges the running-config from the TFTP server with the current running-config in the switch or router. If changes were made to the current running-config, the commands in the TFTP copy are added. Alternatively, if the same command is issued, it updates the corresponding command in the switch or router current running-config.

If you want to completely replace the current running-config with the one from the TFTP server, you must erase the switch startup-config and reload the device. You will then need to configure the VLAN 1 management address, so there is IP connectivity between the TFTP server and the switch.

Part 3:  Use TFTP to Back Up and Restore the Router Running Configuration

The backup and restore procedure from Part 3 can also be performed with a router. In Part 4, the running configuration file will be backed up and restored using a TFTP server.

Step 1:  Verify connectivity to router R1 from PC-A.

If the pings are not successful, troubleshoot the basic device configurations before continuing.

Step 2:  Transfer the running configuration from router R1 to TFTP server on PC-A.

Open configuration window

1. From the privileged EXEC mode on R1, enter the copy running-config tftp command. Provide the remote host address of the TFTP server, 192.168.1.3, and accept the default filename.
2. Verify that the file has been transferred to the TFTP server.

Step 3:  Restore the running configuration file to the router.

1. Erase the startup-config file on the router.
2. Reload the router.
3. Configure the G0/0/1 interface on the router with an IP address 192.168.1.1.
4. Verify connectivity between the router and PC-A.
5. Use the copy command to transfer the running-config file from the TFTP server to the router. Use running-config as the destination.
6. Verify the router has updated the running-config.

Close configuration window

Part 4:  Back Up and Restore Configurations Using Router Flash Memory

Current generation Cisco routers do not have internal flash memory. The flash memory for these routers uses CompactFlash (CF) memory. The use of CF memory allows for more available flash memory and easier upgrades without the need to open the router case. Besides storing the necessary files, such as IOS images, the CF memory can store other files, such as a copy of the running configuration. In Part 5, you will create a backup copy of the running configuration file and save it on the USB memory on the router.

Note: If the router does not use CF, the router may not have enough flash memory for storing the backup copy of running configuration file. You should still read through the instructions and become familiar with the commands.

Step 1:  Display the router file systems.

The show file systems command displays the available file systems on the router. The flash0: file system is the default file system on this router as indicated by the asterisk (*) symbol (at the beginning of the line). The flash0: file system can also be referenced using the name flash:. The total size of the flash0: is approximately 7GB with about 6GB available. Currently flash0: and nvram: are the only available file systems.

Question:

Where is the startup-config file located?

Type your answers here.

nvram:

Note: Verify there is at least 1 MB (1,048,576 bytes) of free space. If there is not enough space in the flash memory, please contact your instructor for further instructions. You can determine the size of flash memory and space available using the show flash or dir flash: command at the privileged EXEC prompt.

Step 2:  Copy the router running configuration to flash.

A file can be copied to flash by using the copy command at the privileged EXEC prompt. In this example, the file is copied into flash0:, because there is only one flash drive available as displayed in the previous step, and it is also the default file system. The R1-running-config-backup file is used as the filename for the backup running configuration file.

Note: Remember that filenames are case-sensitive in the IOS file system.

1. Copy the running configuration to flash memory.

R1# copy running-config flash:

Destination filename [running-config]? R1-running-config-backup

2169 bytes copied in 0.968 secs (2241 bytes/sec)

2. Use dir command to verify the running-config has been copied to flash.

R1# dir flash:

Directory of bootflash:/

3. Use the more command to view the running-config file in flash memory. Examine the file output and scroll to the Interface section. Notice the no shutdown command is not included with the GigabitEthernet0/1. The interface is shut down when this file is used to update the running configuration on the router.

R1# more flash:R1-running-config-backup

<output omitted>

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

 duplex auto

 speed auto

<output omitted>

Step 3:  Erase the startup configuration and reload the router.

Step 4:  Restore the running configuration from flash.

1. Verify the router has the default initial configuration.
2. Copy the saved running-config file from flash to update the running-config.

Router# copy flash:R1-running-config-backup running-config

3. Use the show ip interface brief command to view the status of the interfaces. The interface GigabitEthernet0/1 was not enabled when the running configuration was updated, because it is administratively down.

R1# show ip interface brief

Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

GigabitEthernet0/0/0   unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

GigabitEthernet0/0/1   192.168.1.1     YES TFTP   administratively down down

Serial0/1/0            unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

Serial0/1/1            unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

Close configuration window

The interface can be enabled using the no shutdown command in the interface configuration mode on the router.

Another option is to add the no shutdown command for the GigabitEthernet0/0/1 interface to the saved file before updating the router running configuration file. This will be done in Part 5 using a saved file on a USB flash drive.

Note: Because the IP address was configured by using a file transfer, TFTP is listed under the Method heading in the show ip interface brief output.

Part 5:  (Optional) Use a USB Drive to Back Up and Restore the Running Configuration

A USB flash drive can be used to backup and restore files on a router with an available USB port. One USB port is available on the 4221 routers.

Note: USB ports are not available on all routers, but you should still become familiar with the commands.

Note: Some ISR G1 routers (1841, 2801, or 2811) use File Allocation Table (FAT) file systems, which results in a maximum size limit for the USB flash drives that can be used in this part of the lab. The recommended maximum size for an ISR G1 is 4 GB. If you receive the following message, the file system on the USB flash drive may be incompatible with the router or the capacity of the USB flash drive may have exceeded maximum size of the FAT file system on the router.

*Feb  8 13:51:34.831: %USBFLASH-4-FORMAT: usbflash0 contains unexpected values in partition table or boot sector.  Device needs formatting before use!

Step 1:  Insert a USB flash drive into a USB port on the router.

Notice the message on the terminal when inserting the USB flash drive.

*Sep 24 23:00:33.242: %IOSD_INFRA-6-IFS_DEVICE_OIR: Device usb0 added

Step 2:  Verify that the USB flash file system is available.

Step 3:  Copy the running configuration file to the USB flash drive.

Use the copy command to copy the running configuration file to the USB flash drive.

R1# copy running-config usb0:

Destination filename [running-config]? R1-running-config-backup.txt

2198 bytes copied in 0.708 secs (3105 bytes/sec)

Step 4:  List the file on the USB flash drive.

Use the dir command (or show command) on the router to list the files on the USB flash drive. In this sample, a flash drive was inserted into USB port 0 on the router.

R1# dir usb0:

Directory of usb0:/

 

    6  –rwx             3539  Sep 25 2019 20:41:58 +00:00  R1-running-config-backup.txt

    3  drwx             4096  Sep 24 2019 13:32:26 +00:00  System Volume Information

 

256589824 bytes total (256573440 bytes free)

Step 5:  Erase the startup-config and reload the router.

Step 6:  Modify the saved file.

1. Remove the USB drive from the router.

Router#

*Sep 24 23:00:27.674: %IOSD_INFRA-6-IFS_DEVICE_OIR: Device usb0 removed

2. Insert the USB drive into the USB port of a PC.
3. Modify the file using a text editor. The no shutdown command is added to the GigabitEthernet0/0/1 interface. Save the file as a plain text file on to the USB flash drive.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1

 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

 no shutdown

 duplex auto

 speed auto

4. Remove the USB flash drive from the PC safely.

Step 7:  Restore the running configuration file to the router.

1. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port on the router. Notice the port number where the USB drive has been inserted if there is more than one USB port available on the router.

*Sep 24 23:00:33.242: %IOSD_INFRA-6-IFS_DEVICE_OIR: Device usb0 added

2. List the files on the USB flash drive.

R1# dir usb0:

Directory of usb0:/

 

    6  –rwx             3539  Sep 25 2019 20:41:58 +00:00  R1-running-config-backup.txt

    3  drwx             4096  Sep 24 2019 13:32:26 +00:00  System Volume Information

 

256589824 bytes total (256573440 bytes free)

3. Copy the running configuration file to the router.

Router# copy usb0:R1-running-config-backup.txt running-config

Destination filename [running-config]?

2344 bytes copied in 0.184 secs (12739 bytes/sec)

R1#

4. Verify that the GigabitEthernet0/1 interface is enabled.

R1# show ip interface brief

Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

GigabitEthernet0/0/0   unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

GigabitEthernet0/0/1   192.168.1.1     YES TFTP   up                    up

Serial0/1/0            unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

Serial0/1/1            unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

The G0/1 interface is enabled because the modified running configuration included the no shutdown command.

Close configuration window

Reflection Questions

Router Interface Summary Table

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
