any configuration parameters, the changes are made to the running-config in the system: region of the Volatile
memory. Unless these changes are copied into startup-config or another user-named configuration file, all con-
figuration changes will be lost if the SmartNode is powered down.
A dedicated user-specific configuration must be created and stored in the nvram: region of persistent memory.
In fact, you may create numerous user-specific configurations in the same SmartNode, but if only one dedi-
cated user-specific config is required, you may save it in startup-config by using the
command. Any future time you restart the SmartNode, it will use this saved configuration. In
startup-config
other words, the startup-config configuration file becomes your default operating configuration.
If you have created and saved numerous user-defined operating configuration files, you can change the startup
default configuration file simply by copying the selected config file into startup-config and rebooting
the SmartNode.
Any configuration stored in logical region nvram: or system: can be copied to a remote server by using TFTP.
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 boots, where the application image (i.e. SmartWare) is started and a con-
figuration must be available. Shortly before SmartWare has completed all startup processes, the configuration
startup-config is copied from nvram: in persistent memory to the running-config configuration in system: in vol-
atile memory.
You can back up the running-config to nvram: or to a remote TFTP server with a user-defined name.
