7.4 Configuration Management
The switch stores its configuration in several text files in CLI format. The files are either virtual (RAM-
based) or stored in flash on the switch. The available files are:
•
Running-config: A virtual file that represents the currently active configuration on the switch.
This file is volatile.
•
Startup-config: The startup configuration for the switch, read at boot time. If this file doesn't
exist at boot time, the switch will start up in default configuration
•
Default-config: A read-only file with vendor-specific configuration. This file is read when the
system is restored to default settings
•
Up to 31 other files, typically used for configuration backups or alternative configurations.
Save startup configuration
This copies running-config to startup-config, thereby ensuring that the currently active configuration
will be used at the next reboot.

Download Configuration
It is possible to download any of the files on the switch to the web browser. Select the file and click
Download Configuration. Download of running-config may take a little while to complete, as the file
must be prepared for download.
