GNS3/Dynamips - Startup Config

Stupid question, how do I retain starup-running config, it looks like the configuration disappears once I exit out of the program.

Thanks!

This one got me as well. Took me a while to work out. When you first setup the toplogy you need to create a new project. So instead of going file > save you select file > new project.

Once the project is created, then you click save. Be sure to set your projects directory in GNS so that you know where the configs are being saved.

I usually do a copy run start and then hit save

Make sure you select the "Export Router Configuration Files" tab when you open a new project. You can also select the the "Extract/Import all start-up configs" on the top tool bar as well. If ya don't then basically you'll have a lab without any configurations on any of the routers when you go to re-open your project.
