• Archive. The archive is the system software image. The device boots and runs from
the active image. If the active image is corrupted, the system automatically boots from
the nonactive image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot
upgrade process. The default setting is Archive.
• Text Configuration. A text-based configuration file enables you to edit a configured
text file (startup-config) offline as needed. The most common usage of
text-based configuration is to upload a working configuration from a device, edit it
offline to personalize it for another similar device (for example, change the device
name or IP address), and download it to that device.
