Solved: Can I get Cisco 3725 loaded with startup config stored on slot0

snakayama · ‎03-01-2004

Hello everyone,

Can I use the configuration file stored on the external compact flash memory card

as startup configuration ?

It means that I want to get Cisco 3725 loaded with the startup configuration on

the external compact flash memory, not on nvram during its boot sequence.

At this time, I want to save the startup configuration to both the nvram and the

external compact flash memory.

I think the external compact flash memory card on Cisco 3725 is Filesystem

class "B", so I can not use "boot config" command as on Filesystem Class A

routers.

I would appreciate your help.

I agree with you. Cisco 3700 series routers use Class B (or C) flash file system:

So you won't be able to load the image from the flash card.

you should.copy the startup-config to slot0:startup-confg.

enter the following command in enable mode:

boot config slot0:startup-confg

Thank you very much for your reply.

I tried to configure boot config command, but I could not configure this command on Cisco 3725 (also on 3620).

I think this is due to the external compact flash memory card on Cisco 3725 is Filesystem

class "B" not Filesystem Class A that supports boot config command.

I can find the commands begin with "boot" on Cisco 3725 are follows,

boot bootstrap

boot host

boot network

boot system

I would greatly appliciate your help.
