• Operation Code — System software that is executed after boot-up,
also known as run-time code. This code runs the switch operations and
provides the CLI and web management interfaces. See "Managing
Firmware" on page 5-44 for more information.
• Diagnostic Code — Software that is run during system boot-up, also
known as POST (Power On Self-Test).
Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the switch supports only two
operation code files. However, you can have as many diagnostic code files
and configuration files as available flash memory space allows. The switch
has a total of 32 Mbytes of flash memory for system files.
In the system flash memory, one file of each type must be set as the
start-up file. During a system boot, the diagnostic and operation code files
set as the start-up file are run, and then the start-up configuration file is
loaded.
Note that configuration files should be downloaded using a file name that
reflects the contents or usage of the file settings. If you download directly
to the running-config, the system will reboot, and the settings will have to
be copied from the running-config to a permanent file.

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.
New startup configuration files must have a name specified. File names on
the switch are case-sensitive, can be from 1 to 31 characters, must not
contain slashes (\ or /), and the leading letter of the file name must not be
a period (.). (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ".", "-", "_")
