The configuration files control the operation of the switch, and contain the
functional settings at the device and the port level. Configuration files are one of
the following types:
•
Factory Default — Contains preset default parameter definitions which are
downloaded with a new or upgraded version.
•
Running Configuration — Contains the parameter definitions currently defined
on the device. This includes any configuration changes made since the device
was started or rebooted.
•
Starting configuration — Contains the commands required to reconfigure the
device to the same settings as when the device is powered down or rebooted.
•
Backup configuration — Contains a copy of the system configuration for
protection against system shutdown, or for maintenance of a specific operating
state.
File names cannot contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file name should
not be a period (.), and the maximum length for file names on the TFTP server is
127 characters or 31 characters for files on the switch. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z,
0-9, ".", "-", "_").
