Cisco 2911 router NEW config

[G3261]

Hello, sorry I can't figure this out....I have a Cisco router 2911 model running in production. It looks after Data and Voice for a site. Now, I want to have seconds router in the equation so I can separate them for Voice and Data. I have NEW running config but it is a TEXT file (notepad) on a usb stick. How do I copy this new running config to the router? I don't want to copy from notepad and paste couple of lines at a time to the router. Is there anything else I can do?

you can read flash to see what is name of config file that router used while booting -usually named as startup_config; rename that to have it as backup copy; then copy new running config and rename as it previous one was named. Finally reboot router.

There is pros  and cons on the config copy.

setup a TFTP server in the network.

copy running config and modify the same (only config related)

#dir nvram:/   ( you will see below config)

startup-config

from TFTP copy the config to flash

copy  startup-config to backup copy

copy flash:new_config nvram:/startup-config
