Save Configuration - Linksys SFE1000P Administration Manual

Save Configuration

The configuration files control the operation of the switch, and contain the functional settings at the
device and the port level. Configuration files are one of the following types:
• Factory Default — Contains preset default parameter definitions which are downloaded
with a new or upgraded version.
• Running Configuration — Contains the parameter definitions currently defined on the
device. This includes any configuration changes made since the device was started or
rebooted. When the device shuts down or reboots the next time, this configuration becomes
the Starting Configuration.
• Starting configuration — Contains the parameter definitions which were valid in the
Running Configuration when the system last rebooted or shut down.
• Backup configuration — Contains a copy of the system configuration for protection against
system shutdown, or for maintenance of a specific operating state.
File names cannot contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file name should not be a period
(.), and the maximum length for file names on the TFTP server is 127 characters or 31 characters for
files on the switch. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ".", "-", "_"). In the Save Configuration Page,
define the parameters of the system configuration files.
