how to save and list entire config of cisco router
 

( I am ready for round 2 of my battle with port forwarding on the cisco
831 soho router. )

I read I can use tftp somehow to save and list the entire config. What
are the steps I run to do that? I would like to post my entire config
to the group.

thanks,

-Steve

1.) login
2.) enable
3.) copy running-config tftp:
4.) you'll be asked for ip address of the tftp server and a filename on
the tftp server, provide an ip address and take over the default value
for the remote filename and hit enter.

:4.) you'll be asked for ip address of the tftp server and a filename on
:the tftp server, provide an ip address and take over the default value
:for the remote filename and hit enter.

5.) Take a copy of the uploaded file, and edit it to remove the
enable passwords and secrets, all user passwords, all isakmp keys,
and any other sensitive information. You may also wish to obscure your
public IP addresses. Do not post the original file: post only the
'sanitized' version. Assume that any encrypted value in the configuration
file that is left there and posted -will- be decrypted by someone.

more easy.

in Hyperterminal, put the "show run" command and select the output and
"copy"

Paste in Wordpad.....no in notepad.

That will not save the -entire- configuration. "show run" deliberately
obscures some items such as isakmp keys (at least it does on the PIX.)
tftp will get you the exact configuration.

in Hyperterminal the show run output stops at the end of the page and
displays "--- more ---". then I have to press enter one line at a
time.

any way to get the output to not stop after the page is full?

thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for.

now the next problem ... :)

In windows 2000, there is no tftp server. I found this code from
someone who has the same requirements as me:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com//Code/2...y/TFTPTest.asp

"...This application is the beginning of a program I want to use to
download switch/router configuration files via TFTP and archive them.
This application merely asks for an IP address and a filename then it
receives the file via TFTP and displays it in a RichTextBox. ..."

"...I searched all over the web for a TFTP application written in C#
but could find none 'freely' available, and was not about to spend
$400 to get a control. I came up with the following app which does what
I need so I figured I would share it. I am not a professional
programmer, I am a network engineer so if some of the code is ugly
then.... J . This app is the beginning of a program I want to use to
download switch/router config files via TFTP and archive them. This App
merely asks for an IP address and a filename then it receives the file
via TFTP and displays it in a RichTextBox. ..."

I am just starting to work with this person's code. My first question
is that if the cisco 831 wants a tftp server and file name and this
program also wants a server and file name, how will the two work
together?

Can the cisco function as the tftp server, in effect tftp'ing the
config to itself? Then this program comes along and receives the
config file from the cisco tftp server?

thanks,

-Steve

solarwinds or KiwiCatTools http://www.kiwisyslog.com/cattools2.htm
or install one of the several unix-like environments for windows

term len n

Sets the 'page' length, setting n to zero disables paging.

I like

http://tftpd32.jounin.net/

I think that cisco now suggest it, however it has been around for
years.

60-100k .exe, no install. no magic. Just works.
