paste configuration failure

[baronejames]

I am using a putty session to console into a 4331 isr .

once in config t,  I am able to type config commands into the command line and the router accepts the input.

but

If I try to cut and paste commands the lines are added all scrambled and error out.

I have also tried using secure crt and getting the same failure.

I believe the 4300 routers got a CF.  Why not copy the configuration into the CF and then force the router to read the TXT file?

You have not told us how big are the section of commands that you attempt to cut and paste. That might make a difference. I have had the experience when doing cut and paste of fairly large sections of commands that there is an issue with buffering of my input. When typing the commands manually we are slow enough that the input parser can easily keep up with what we are inputting. But with cut and paste there is a limited amount of buffering available and it is possible to present command input quickly enough that we overrun the buffer and the result is that garbage gets input. One way to solve that is to configure your terminal server to increate the per character delay or the per line feed delay so that it slows down our pasted input and allows the router to keep up. I know I have done this with Secure CRT and believe there is an option for this in putty also.
