Maintenance Information
While the router retrieves and reloads the configuration file from the remote host, the console display
indicates whether or not the operation is successful. A series of exclamation points (!!!!) and [OK] (as
shown in the preceding example) indicates that the operation was successful. A series of periods (...) and
[timed out] or [failed] indicate a failure (which would probably be due to a network fault or an incorrect
server name, address, or filename).
The following is an example of a failed attempt to boot from a remote server:
Booting Router-confg ..... [timed out]
If the display indicates that the process was successful, as shown in
Step 9
If the display indicates that the process failed, verify the name or address of the remote server and the
filename, and repeat the preceding steps. If you are unable to retrieve the configuration file, contact your
network administrator or see the
on contacting technical assistance.
Step 10
To ensure that the configuration file was retrieved correctly, use the show startup-config command and
look at the first line for the configuration file size. Compare it with the file you retrieved from the TFTP
server to confirm that it is correct. Following is an example:
Router# show startup-config
Using 1186 out of 126968 bytes
!
version 11.1
hostname Router
!
Router#
To ensure that the startup configuration file stored in NVRAM is the default running configuration file
Step 11
used by the system, use the copy running-config startup-config command as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Router#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from memory by console
Router#
This completes the procedure for retrieving the saved configuration file.
Replacing and Upgrading DRAM DIMMs
This section describes how to remove and replace RSP8 DRAM DIMMs.
The default DRAM configuration is 64 MB, residing on up to two DIMMs. The DRAM DIMM sockets
are U12 (bank 0) and U15 (bank 1). (See
To prevent system problems, do not use DRAM single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) from an RSP2
Caution
in an RSP8. The RSP8 requires DRAM dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs).
Do not mix memory sizes. If installing two DIMMs, both DIMMs must be the same size. If your router
Note
includes redundant RSPs, the RSPs should have the same memory size.
