| Is it possible to copy the running config of a router via the console port to a laptop in the absence of a TFTP server?
Probably a silly question but a answer would be highly appreciated | |

Yeah; use the "Transfer"->"Capture Text..." menu item in your HyperTerminal.
You keep moving around the world: England, Bolivia, Zaire. That must be exciting... [grin] | |

Is there any way of uploading it back to the router though? | |

AFAIK you can upload a system image and/or a config file over the console using Xmodem. You'll need to put the router in ROM monitor mode, and the config file on your PC must be named router_confg. Then you do a xmodem router_confg on your router (or xmodem -y router_confg if you want to use Ymodem instead of Xmodem, which shouldn't be necessary for a config file). | |

Easiest way to get the config ... sh run, cut and paste into notepad, save.
Easiest way to put the config on the router ... paste it at the (config)# prompt in your terminal session. Works great. :-)
FWIW,

Only thing that may mess up is your banner if you use one, but you'll realize that soon enough

| Make a habit of changing your delimeters in the text file and this won't be such an issue. Still a pain though.
