Table 7- 5

Command Summary for Cisco 700 Series Router Profile Management

Command

Description

set user

This command initially creates the profile (or subdirectory) for the connection called
user. Selecting the name "user" for a connection is similar to naming a router "router".
Generally, the name of the connection is something that is meaningful to the
connection.

upload

This command writes the configuration to the monitor screen. The configuration is
presented on the screen without page breaks. It is necessary to use a monitor program
(such as hyperterminal) to view the entire configuration by using the scroll arrows on
your keyboard.

set default

This command is similar to doing an erase startup-config and then issuing a reload
command on an IOS router. Care should be taken with this command because it does
NOT prompt the user that the configuration will be set back to factory defaults. The use
of this command could be a career-ending event if there is no saved hardcopy of the
configuration.

reset

This command simply reloads and reinitializes the router.
