Chapter 7: Configuration

1 Configuration overview
Reason Switches runs internally three configuration files, which can be freely
selected by user. The configuration files and their descriptions are as shown
below.

Running Config: This file represents the actual configuration of the switch.
When the save button is pressed at any settings menu, changes made at
the configuration will be saved at this file. If the switch is restarted, this
configuration is discarded and the switch will load, after the reboot, the
Startup Config file;

Startup Config: This file represents the configuration that the switch will run
after it is powered up or restarted. If a change in the Running Config was
performed and it is requested to maintain the Running Config at the Startup
Config, the user must have to save it at Save Running Configuration to
startup-config option, in the Maintenance menu;

Default Config: This file represents factory default configuration of the
switch. If necessary, it can be loaded by software to replace actual running
configuration or the start-up configuration file.
