Saving Configuration Settings

Configuration commands only modify the running configuration file and
are not saved when the switch is rebooted. To save all your configuration
changes in nonvolatile storage, you must copy the running configuration
file to the start-up configuration file using the “copy” command.

To save the current configuration settings, enter the following command:

1. From the Privileged Exec mode prompt, type “copy running-config

startup-config” and press .

2. Enter the name of the start-up file. Press .

Managing System Files

The switch’s flash memory supports three types of system files that can be
managed by the CLI program, Web interface, or SNMP. The switch’s file
system allows files to be uploaded and downloaded, copied, deleted, and
set as a start-up file.

The three types of files are:

Configuration — These files store system configuration information
and are created when configuration settings are saved. Saved
configuration files can be selected as a system start-up file or can be
uploaded via TFTP to a server for backup. A file named
“Factory_Default_Config.cfg” contains all the system default settings
and cannot be deleted from the system. See “Saving or Restoring
Configuration Settings” on page 3-24
for more information.
