Uplodaing Running Config Question

Having some challenges uploading Running-config to router.
Router: 871w with VPN
I have tried uploading via console and SDM. The file was saved with SDM.
What do I need to leave out to make the process work (using SDM and/or console).

Thanks for the reply.
I will review the link.
How I was trying to upload was:
Method A) Using SDM, under Additional Tasks, there's a configuration section where you can upload or merge running config. Since this did not work - I assumed it had errors.
Method B) Logged into Console using Console cable and Hyper Terminal. I when into config t and selected File > Send Text file.
It looked as if I was getting error messages with secret password and crypto items.... might be anything that was encrypted? I thought this method would work.

  • Simple question - ACE Context Running Config

    How do I erase the running config of a context ? wr erase only gets rid of the the start up. I can go through it with no commands but was hoping there is a better way.

    If you could reload per context erasing the startup config would work. Unfortunately you can only reload the whole ace blade.
    Fastest way to get rid of a config within a context is to delete the context in the admin context and then re-create it.
    changeto Admin
    conf t
    no context
    context
    If you had checkpoints already created those are gone as well once you issue the "no context " command.
    To make it easier in the future i would suggest you create an empty checkpoint at the very beginning or at the point of your configuration where you want to start to experiment with the settings.
    conf t
    checkpoint create
    or
    checkpoint create
    To get the settings back u issue.
    conf t
    checkpoint rollback
    The checkpoints are per context btw.
    Hope that helps.

  • A few post config questions on new setup

    Hi Group,
    Just a few post config questions.
    First, how can I confirm my controller is in fact associating properly with an NTP server?  On a typically cisco product, I could just do a 'show ntp associations' or a 'show ntp status'.  I cannot see a way to confirm this on the gui or command line.
    Second, on my guest network with web-auth, if one were to choose to not use https for web-auth and instead use unsecure http, would that be possible and if so where in the gui?
    Thanks.

    The third field is from a WLC running v7.4 not v7.2.  I usually would install a 3rd party certificate, but what eles you can try is issue this command on from the CLI.  It had issues working with certain code versions, but you might as well give it a try.
    config network web-auth secureweb disable
    Thanks,

  • Running config.cmd produces - The system cannot find the path specified

    I had successfuly installed Weblgic/OSB and cofigured a domain on 64 bit windows 2008
    I then uninstalled all components and re-installed everything |( including deleting all directires ) .
    When I come to run config.cmd to create the OSB Weblogic domain I get :-
    The system cannot find the path specified
    I have set echo on and can see that the cmd file is attempting to acces directories that do not exist - so the command file is getting wrong info from somewhere but I just cannot figure out from where. I donlt think its a script issue, its more like an issue with some setting somewhere in windows regirsty or some cache that its pulinng it in from - the wrong directoties displayed seem to look like my existing dir's with ~1 and ~2 on the end.
    Any ideas suggestions greatly received.

    I have not edited any of the scipts at all - they are as they have been laid down byt the install.

  • Workshop Weblogic config questions

    I'm using Oracle Workshop for WebLogic 10.3 and I'm hoping someone can answer some setup/config questions.
    When I double click on the server (WebLogic Server v10.3 at localhost) a window opens with various settings that manage how workshop and weblogic work together.
    Under "Startup & Deployment" I have the following turned on:
    Launch WebLogic server in Eclipse console
    Always start WebLogic Server in debug mode
    Ignore project compilation errors when publishing (I have this turned on because of errors in a portal project, the errors aren't inmportant, and don't prevent the project form running)
    Run stand-alone web module directly from workspace
    So, first question, with these settings I was able to quickly switch to debug mode, with out restarting the server, now the server restarts whenever I turn debugging on. What have I done that has stopped this working correctly? How can I get it to start debugging without a full restart?
    next question, what happens if I turn on "Start WebLogic Server in Express Mode"? As far as I can tell nothing happens.
    Lastly, under "Automatic Publishing" I have it set to "Never publish automatically", if I choose another setting workshop essentially freezes because it's constantly publishing. So whenever I make a change, even in a jsp, I need to remove the project, then re-add it to see my changes in the browser. This is frustrating, not just because it takes 8 or 9 minutes (8 or 9 MINUTES!!!), but because the project doesn't run properly until it is redeployed. You'd think that if it needs to be re-deployed, then none of my changes should matter on the server until it is re-deployed.
    So, my question is, Is there any way to get this re-deployment to happen faster?
    Thanks for any and all help

    Well, in my experience performance is not bad as you experienced. Is it locally connected server or remotely connected server? If it is a remote server, network issue could cause this latency issue.
    Is performance better if you run the server without enabling debug mode? If yes, probably you can also review any break points set.
    You could also try out the following options
    1) Run workshop with -clean option, by opening command prompt and navigating to workshop_home\'workshop.exe -clean'
    2) Untick the option 'Launch WebLogic server in Eclipse console' and start server which would enable server to start on command prompt
    3) This would enable you to take multiple thread dumps (cutl +Break) on the server console output, while performance is very bad, to see where threads are halt.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • Syslog massage for copy running-config

    Hello,
    i have syslog server and i want to receive syslog message that say "config saved" from the switch/router.
    i cant find any log message that syslog generate for the copy command.
    can i achieve this with EEM ?
    i need this for NX-OS and regular IOS.
    Thanks.

    Hello Ricarte,
    Not sure I follow your question but let me explain something:
    can i copy running-config to another file in the flash, do testing on it, if something goes wrong, put it back.  like...
    asa>copy running-config my-config
    Yes, it is possible
    copy my-config running-config
    This will do a merge of both the file my-config and the running-config.. It will be a merge.
    A merge adds any new commands from the new configuration to the running configuration. If the configurations are the same, no changes occur. If commands conflict or if commands affect the running of the context, then the effect of the merge depends on the command. You might get errors, or you might have unexpected results.

  • How to backup a "show tech" and a "running config" from MDS switches

    hi, guys
    I am a newbie of MDS switches.
    but I got a request this week asking me to actively backup a "show tech" and a "running config" from the MDS switches........
    so my questions are:
    1) if I want to back up MDS configurations, which commnds should I run? or just "show tech" is enough?
    2) is the MDS itself have the backup function? for example can ftp the configuration to someplace?
    please help point me the right direction or is there any official referece docs I can refer to ?
    thanks in advance!!!

  • Cisco Prime 2.1: Not writing running config after template deployment

    I have noticed that Prime is not writing the running config after CLI template deployments.  I deployed a changeset to over 1100 devices the other night and noticed that the configs had not been written the startup config.
    I did some testing today and am using the following CLI template:
    #MODE_ENABLE
    copy running-config startup-config
    #MODE_END_ENABLE
    All tests failed.  I found the syntax for enable mode from the following link:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/2-0/user/guide/prime_infra_ug/create_temps.html#31705
    Any ideas on why it isn't writing the configs by default or how to force it through a template?

    I've got a little bit more information for you on this.  If you were to login to a switch, enter enable mode and type "copy running-config startup-config" and press ENTER you'd see this:
    Destination filename [startup-config]?
    You'd then read the documentation and think to yourself "Self, I better use the following syntax in my CLI template"
    #INTERACTIVE
    copy running-config startup-config<IQ>Destination filename [startup-config]?<R>startup-config
    #ENDS_INTERACTIVE
    But in Cisco's world, I guess that just doesn't make any sense at all.  Why use the actual interactive question when you can simply just use the first word (even though all of their examples show multi-word interactive questions).  The correct syntax would then be:
    #INTERACTIVE
    copy running-config startup-config<IQ>Destination<R>startup-config
    #ENDS_INTERACTIVE
    #START_SARCASM
    Duh!  It's so obvious.  Why in the world would one ever think anything other than that you would simply take the first word in the interactive question and just leave it at that.  I feel so stupid
    #ENDS_SARCASM

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.0: Running an inventory sync removes "snmp-server location" in running-config

    Hello,
    we're running Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (version VA-2.0.0.0.294).
    I was scared as I figured out one hour ago that running an inventory sync (Device Work Center) removes the command snmp-server location and adds the command snmp-server host "PI-ip address" "snmp rw community" in the running-config.
    Has someone the same behaviour or can reenact this scenario?!
    Can someone imagine that this behaviour has something to do with a configuration setting in PI?
    I'm perplexed and got gray hair now.
    Thank you for your answers or tips.
    Bastian

    Hello Rob,
    I just successfully installed the patch. The snmp-server location is not touched anymore while running a inventory job.
    But PI still enters this string in the running-configuration:
    snmp-server host "PI-IP address" " our snmp RW community- string"
    although there already exists the entry:
    snmp-server host "PI-IP address" version 2c "community-string (not the snmp rw-community-string)"
    Do you or anyone else has the same behaviour that PI adds automaically himself as snmp trap receiver with the SNMP-RW community?
    Regards
    Bastian

  • Create user just use for show running-config

    If the chassis is loaded with line cards, why then CPU utilization for five seconds: 11%/1%; one minute: 9%; five minutes: 9%?
    The configuration of each line cards are stored in each line cards.  There maybe a 40 Gbps backplane line but some commands have "low priority" communicating between the different line cards and up to the supervisor card.
    You'll see similar sort of behaviour too when you stack seven to nine 3750/G/E/X switches together.

    The vlan info isn't missing, you have the option of either specifying which VLAN you want it dropped in to, or you can just say authorize the vlan that is configured with the 'switchport access vlan' command.

  • Re: PLM4P v6003 Config Question:  Any way to configure UGM Notifications?

    After reading:
    PLM4P v6003 Config Question:  Any way to configure UGM Notifications?
    This is one of the requirements from me as well. We always wanted to customize emails sent not only for UGM but also for other modules. We wanted to conveysome message to approvers. But it seems this is still not possible. Is this functionality on road-map of AgielP4P product management?

    Currently, the subject and body of emails can be customized to an extent, as they are translations that can be overridden. The translations have some placeholder fields that get populated by the system, but you are limited to those placeholder fields. The upcoming release will give you full control of the email body and subject lines, for GSM and SCRM emails, as well as Supplier Rep emails.

  • VLAN RUNNING Config fetch Failed

    Hi;
    I have running Ciscowork LSM 3.2 with RME Ver 4.3 and Running SNMP V3 on all device. Out of 134 device 12-13 shows me Vlan running Config fetch failed. Please also find the dcmaservice.log in attachment.
    I already verify the Crediential number or times, I can access the devices from SSH and Telnet, on Cisco works RME shows Running and Startup Config success while VLAN Running Config fetch failed. and on some device it show following
    Protocol and Platforms passed = TELNET , RMEIOS
    trying for Telnet
    Failed to get CmdSvc from DeviceContext....
    Thanks,
    Best regards;
    Shoaib Ahmed

    HI Shoaib,
    Try  ssh\telnet into the device manually and issue the command copy flash:vlan.dat tftp: and
    enter the IP address of the LMS server? Does it work? If that works fine, try to increase
    the tftp timeout.
    This can be done under RME> Admin> System Preferences> RME Device Attributes.
    if it failed with an Error as below :
    %Error opening tftp: ............
    Then check if there any firewall in between these device and LMS blocking TFTP as TFTP is the only protocal
    that fetch the vlan.dat from the device.
    Thanks--

    and the other being the issue where IOS can return the prompt before it's done unpacking the files
    Ok, now what EXACTLY is the appliance and IOS version?  The only time I know of this bug is the Metro Ethernet (ME) switches and when the current appliance is upgraded FROM an IOS version 15.2(1)S.  
    But there is a "workaround" which Cisco doesn't want to publish (don't ask me why not):  Use "archive tar /x" and, optionally, delete the old IOS sub-directory.
    Personally, I wouldn't recommend anyone using the "copy the BIN file" method unless you know what you are doing or you've put extra measures in place.  The "archive /x tar" and/or "archive download-sw" was developed so that it could be automated and the operator can see the result at the end.  The "copy the BIN file" method doesn't give anyone a result whether or not the file was copied or not or was the file copied completely.  
    Regularly, I would upgrade our switches (2960/2960S, ME-3800X, 3560E/3560CG, 3750X) fleet using the "archive download-sw" method and I don't use scripts.  I just copy-and-paste the command.  So far, since 2009, I've "lost" only 6 switches when I upgraded the switch to upgrade the wrong file (another IOS bug on it's own) and I had to physically show up and upgrade using ROMmon.  Every time I would upgrade, about 900 switches (some in a stack), it would take me about 4 days.  Even though I work with three guys who's very good at almost any scripting but we've come to a unanimous conclusion NOT to use scripting.  
    Moving on, if "copy the BIN file" is still a preferred choice, I would like to know how do you go about verifying the file was copied completely?  Whenever I resort to the "copy the BIN file", I ensure the file copied is complete by verifying the MD5 hash value against the MD5 hash value found in the Cisco website.  Trust me, adding this additional "layer" of security saved me doing ROMmon upgrade so many times.  

  • Redundant FWSM Config Question

    Hello All,
    I'm going to be configuring failover with FWSMs for our 6500 at my job and I have a config question. There is one current 6500 chassis with 2 FWSMs installed. They are both online but currently since failover isn't setup, only one FWSM is actually active. My question is since we are using mutiple contexts where do I setup the failover interface, and do I need to configure failover on every single vlan on the FWSM? We have over 10 contexts each with 2-3 interfaces on them, so do I need a failover IP for every vlan that exists on every context? Also, does the failover config get setup on the admin or system context? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you so much in advance!

    Hi John.
    Failover config goes in the system context. For the data interfaces in each context, you will need a primary and a standby IP i.e. 2 IP's per VLAN. Once failover happens, the secondary FWSM will assume the active role and the secondary FWSM will take over the Primary IP address thus making the failover process transparent to end users.
    HTH.
    Regards
    Zubair
