Downloading a File to the Startup or Running Configuration

You can download a text file to the running or startup configuration from a TFTP, FTP, or HTTP(S)
server, or from the Flash memory.
To copy a file to the startup configuration or running configuration, enter one of the following commands
for the appropriate download server.
When you copy a configuration to the running configuration, you merge the two configurations. A merge

adds any new commands from the new configuration to the running configuration. If the configurations
are the same, no changes occur. If commands conflict or if commands affect the running of the context,
then the effect of the merge depends on the command. You might get errors, or you might have
unexpected results.
