System Image Handling Task List - Patton electronics SmartNode Series Software Configuration Manual

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
Operating configurations cannot be executed from the persistent memory, so the configuration used for oper-
ating the SmartNode is copied into the volatile memory of the SmartNode prior to normal operation. This
procedure takes place after the system bootstrap, where the application image (i.e. SmartWare) is started and a
configuration must be available. Shortly before SmartWare has completed all startup processes, the configura-
tion startup-config is copied from nvram: in persistent memory to the running-config configuration in system: in
volatile memory.
You can back up the running-config to nvram: or to a remote TFTP server with a user-defined name.
Note
When returning to the factory-config by using the
tup-config
