Config.text Confusion on a Router

[Ahmed Mukhtar]

Dear All, 

           I am having a confusion regarding the system's startup config.The Startup config for the Switch is saved in the flash as Config.text. But why isn't this Config.text not present in the routers flash?? and also if not in the flash then where is it present on a router?

Please enlighten me on this topic.

Hello Ahmed,

On a router the startup is in the nvram.

Try the following command:

VG1#dir nvram:
Directory of nvram:/

  243  -rw-       11940                    <no date>  startup-config

Hope this helps,

if so, please rate.

Thanks.
