This is a cisco packet tracer lab showing how to backup and restore router configuration using a ftp server.So in this tutorial we will learn how to take backup of router configuration over a ftp server and how to restore it back from ftp server when we need it.
Step 1:Draw the above diagram and arrange the device as it is and configure FTP server.
Note: Here tiwary is the username and tiwary123 is it’s password.
This username and password will be used to login ftp server.
Step2: Assign ip address on router interface and enable port configure enable password or telnet whatever you want to configure.
Router>enable Router#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0 Router(config-if)#ip address 1.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 Router(config-if)#no shutdown
Step 3:configure enable password or telnet and even more whatever you want to configure.
here i am configuring enable password and Telnet on router.
Router(config-if)#exit Router(config)#enable password redhat Router(config)#line vty 0 4 Router(config-line)#password telnet123 Router(config-line)#login Router(config-line)#exit Router(config)#exit
Step4: Save running-config data to startup-config
Router#copy run start Destination filename [startup-config]? Building configuration... [OK]
Step 5: Craete FTP User and Assign Ftp users passwords on Router.
Remember this username and password must be same as username and password assigned on your FTP server.
Router#config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#ip ftp username tiwary Router(config)#ip ftp password tiwary123 Router(config)#exit
Step 6: Backup router Configuration on FTP server.
Router#copy run ftp: Address or name of remote host []? 1.0.0.2 Destination filename [Router-confg]? Writing running-config... [OK - 650 bytes] 650 bytes copied in 0.067 secs (9000 bytes/sec) Router#
Step7: Restore from backup file kept over FTP
Router#copy ftp: running-config Address or name of remote host []? 1.0.0.2 Source filename []? Router-confg Destination filename [running-config]? Accessing ftp://1.0.0.2/Router-confg... [OK - 650 bytes] 650 bytes copied in 0.002 secs (325000 bytes/sec) Router#
