REASON SWITCHES-TM-EN-3
Reason Switches allows managing its settings file, and this section brings the
information on how to it regarding the Save startup-config, Download, Upload,
Activate and Delete menu.
Reason Switches stores internally three configuration files, which can be freely
selected by user to become active. One of them is the main active configuration file,
the running configuration file used by the switch, which is lost if equipment restarts.
Another one is the startup configuration file, that is, the file that will become active at
boot process of the switch. The last one is the factory default configuration file. The
configuration files and their descriptions are as shown below.

Running Config: This file contains 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 replace this running config file,
after the reboot, for the Startup Config file;

Startup Config: This file contains the configuration 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 save it at the Startup Config at the Save Running
Configuration to startup-config option, at the Maintenance menu;

Default Config: This file contains factory default configuration of switch. If
necessary, it can be loaded by software to replace actual running
configuration or the start-up configuration file.
Save startup-config menu is located at Maintenance
config.
In this menu, it is possible to save actual running configuration to the startup
configuration, thus enabling actual configuration to be used in the next restart
section. The save buttons at the settings menu allow only saving settings in the
running configuration, which will be lost if system is restarted. Thus, to effectively
save configurations the switch will use when booting, it is necessary to save running
configuration at the startup, as this menu allows to.
To save running config at the startup config, click at the Save Configuration button.
After this is done, running config is stored as startup config.
