Found this info on cco. Couldnt find info on router specifically, but on the switch instead. See if the router supports [service compress-config]. hope it helps.

Note: The running configure is greater than the NVRAM size of 32K as shown below.

Router# dir nvram:
Directory of nvram:/

1 -rw- 4687 <no date> startup-config
2 ---- 0 <no date> private-config

% Configuration buffer full, can't add command: ip prefix-list CBB_out
% Aborting Save. Compress the config.[OK]

Cannot execute compress-config :
The 3550 switch does not support compressing the configuration file, as shown below.

Router(config)# service compress-config
Boot ROMs do not support NVRAM compression.
Disabling service compress-config.
The workaround is to save the running configuration file in the flash: device and use the boot config-file command to instruct the router boot from that file on re-load instead of nvram:.

router# copy running-config flash:newconfig.cfg
Destination filename [newconfig.cfg]?
31585 bytes copied in 3.552 secs (10528 bytes/sec)
router(config)# boot config-file flash:newconfig.cfg

The solution is to use the boot buffersize <size> configuration command to increase the size of the simulated NVRAM. The configuration file cannot be larger than the buffer size allocation. The range is from 4096 to 524288 bytes.

Note: The 3550 switch configuration needs to be reloaded using the reload command or cold booted before the new simulated NVRAM takes effect.

After using the boot buffersize command it is no longer necessary to use the workaround described earlier, as the boot buffersize command simulates a larger NVRAM.

"Configuration memory full" error message appears.

Adding too many configuration commands will cause earlier commands to be lost and the following error message to appear:

Cisco LightStream 1010 Release Note For Software Rel 11.1(9)

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products...lease_note09186a008007e3ab.html#xtocid1889111

% Configuration buffer full, can't add command: user command

This error indicates that the configuration memory limit has been reached and earlier working commands may be lost if you proceed.

Do not use the write memory or copy running-config commands if this error message appears. This bug was introduced in Release 11.1(1).
