I've seen in classrooms where the config is saved to a server and you
manage the configs from a web page. Allowing you to load your base
configs to all of your routers with a couple of clicks on the web page
or save you're configurations for a later date. All this without any a
special config or manually running commands on the routers.

Any ideas how they do this?

I save the config's to flash on each of the local boxes. And also do so
at
different stages. So for example on R1 I might have the following in
flash:

nmc-1-r1-igp.txt
nmc-1-r1-preconfig.txt
nmc-1-r1-complete.txt

So if I want to play with ios features and such I would load the
following
copy flash start and give file nmc-1-r1-igp.txt. It works good for me
and
litterly takes only minutes. Only gotcha is you have to have the flash
space I have all 3640 with max flash so no problem. I used to run off
from
a tftp server and that works well also but is more time consuming.
