Hello,
I'm using GNS3 to interconnect two routers R0 and R1. I have configured them correctly and I'm able to test the ping; everything is working well, but I have a problem concerning the saving of the configurations for R0 and R1. I used the command write and also export /all, but once I exit GNS3, I only find the topology backup (interconnected R0 and R1) and I can't find the configuration I made.
Thank you in advance

Hello everyone. I've encountered this problem several times in GNS3, and I think I have found a solution for saving router configurations. I say "I think" because it works for me and everyone I've assisted (XP - Vista - Seven).
So, first of all, make sure you have configured GNS3 properly (Edit > Preferences). Then start a new project (File > New topology). When the " New project " window appears, simply check, and only check the first box "Save NVRAMs and other virtual disks", then give a name to your project; the default path will be constructed automatically. Then validate!!
There you go, it's done. This is how I always recover my router settings after closing GNS3. I recommend first testing with a project containing only one router before moving on to larger labs.
I hope I helped you. If you want more details on the proper configuration of GNS3, feel free to reach out...

I can't save the configuration even if I type wr and the other copy command...
Please, is there a solution?
Especially I want to do labs with several routers, so it's not practical to redo the work every time.

Hi,
I have a final study project with GNS3, so I must find a solution for saving.
The solution is as follows:
After configuring the router, you do a show running-config and copy the configuration (right-click --> select --> select the configuration --> enter), paste this configuration into a text file named after the router (e.g., R1.txt).
And finally, the most important part:
right-click on the router --> startup-config --> paste the path of the text file (e.g., C:\R1.txt)
Best regards

Make a summary with configurations and explain what doesn't work, and we'll try to explain to you why it doesn't work.
