  • Valid nvram file name

    From williambramirez@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 27 06:29:15 2016
    When using the command 'copy running-config startup-config' you are presented with a filename choice. What format does this have to be in? Are spaces or alphanumeric characters allowed? What file name extension is used? Should I choose a descriptive
    name? When used through the GNS3 simulator this is only going to save the file on the current router which is in the window correct? Thanks in advance.

    Don't know about GNS3 but these links should explain Cisco file handling:
