Use this command to create a new configuration file. The new
configuration file is stored in the file system on the switch, containing the
current settings of the switch. Use this command to create a backup copy
of the switch’s current configuration (running-config file).

This command does not change the boot configuration file. To designate a
different file as the boot configuration file on the switch, refer to “BOOT
CONFIG-FILE” on page 146.

Confirmation Command

“DIR” on page 140

Example

This example saves the current configuration settings of the switch as a
new boot configuration file called “sw3_backup.cfg”:

awplus# copy running-config sw3_backup.cfg
