Saving a Configuration

To save the configuration, enter the copy running-config startup-config command from the EXEC
mode prompt to save the new configuration into nonvolatile storage. Once this command is issued, the
running and the startup copies of the configuration are identical.
Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide for further information.

Clearing a Configuration

To clear a startup configuration, enter the write erase command from the EXEC mode prompt. Once this
command is issued, the switch's startup configuration reverts to factory defaults. The running
configuration is not affected. The write erase command erases the entire startup configuration with the
exception of any configuration that affects the loader functionality.
The write erase boot command only erases the configuration that affects the loader functionality. The
loader functionality configuration includes the boot variables and the mgmt0 IP configuration
information (IP address, netmask and default gateway).
switch# write erase boot
This command will erase the boot variables and the ip configuration of interface mgmt 0
