How to Save and Boot from the Current
Configuration
This section tells you how to save your configuration and run the saved configuration
when the switch starts up.
You can either:
■ save the configuration to the switch’s default configuration file (called “default.cfg”).
By default, the switch uses that file at start-up.
■ create a new configuration file and set the switch to use the new configuration file at
start-up.
How to Save to the Default Configuration File

Enter Privileged Exec mode and enter the command:

Note that you can set the switch to use a configuration file on a USB storage device if you
have saved the configuration file to a USB storage device. You can only specify that the
configuration file is on a USB storage device if there is a backup configuration file already
specified in Flash.
To set a backup configuration file to load if the main configuration file cannot be loaded,
enter the command:
awplus# copy running-config startup-config
awplus# copy running-config <destination-url>
awplus# copy running-config example.cfg
awplus(config)# boot config-file <filepath-filename>
awplus(config)# boot config-file backup
