ESW 500 Series Switches Administration Guide
This section contains information for defining file maintenance and includes both
configuration file management as well as device access.
The File Management section contains the following topics:
•
Software Upgrade
•
Save Configuration
•
Copy Configuration File
•
Active Image
•
DHCP Auto Configuration
The configuration file structure consists of the following configuration files:
•
Startup Configuration File — Contains the commands required to reconfigure
the device to the same settings as when the device is powered down or
rebooted.
•
Running Configuration File — Contains all configuration file commands, as
well as all commands entered during the current session. After the device is
powered down or rebooted, all commands stored in the Running Configuration
file are lost. During the startup process, all commands in the Startup file are
copied to the Running Configuration File and applied to the device. During the
session, all new commands entered are added to the commands existing in the
Running Configuration file. Commands are not overwritten. To update the
Startup file, before powering down the device, the Running Configuration file
must be copied to the Startup Configuration file. The next time the device is
restarted, the commands are copied back into the Running Configuration file
from the Startup Configuration file.
•
Backup Configuration File — Contains a backup copy of the device
configuration. The Backup file is generated when the Running Configuration file
or the Startup file is copied to the Backup file. The commands copied into the
file replaces the existing commands saved in the Backup file. The Backup file
contents can be copied to either the Running configuration or the Startup
Configuration files.
