The configuration file structure consists of the following:
Startup Configuration File — Contains the commands required
to reconfigure the device to the same settings as when the device
is powered down or rebooted. The Startup file is created by
copying the configuration commands from the Running
Configuration file or by downloading the configuration file from
via TFTP or HTTP.
Running Configuration File — Contains all configuration file
commands, and all commands entered during the current session.
When the device is powered down or rebooted, the commands in
the Running Configuration file are lost. During startup, all
commands in the Startup file are copied to the Running
Configuration File and applied to the device. To update the Startup
file, click the Save Configuration button before powering down
the device. This copies the Running Configuration file to the
Startup Configuration file.
Image files — Software upgrades are used when a new version
file is downloaded. The file is checked for the right format, and
that it is complete. After a successful download, the new version is
marked, and is used after the device is reset.
Backup and restore of the configuration files are always done from and
to the Startup Config file.
