These command associations are part of Cisco IOS essentials taught in FLDTEC's "Device Configuration and Verification" topic. Here's how each command functions:
show running-config
Displays the active configuration stored in RAM.
This command is used to verify the current settings on a Cisco device.
copy running-config startup-config
Saves the current running configuration to NVRAM, ensuring the configuration persists after a reboot.
This is critical after making changes to devicesettings.
copy tftp: running-config
Loads a configuration from a TFTP server and applies it to the current running configuration.
Often used during remote device setup or restoration.
copy usbflash0:backup.cfg running-config
Restores a saved configuration file from a USB drive.
Useful in field operations where physical backup media is used during maintenance.
These tasks are routine for field technicians performing configuration backups, restorations, and diagnostics in Cisco environments.
