This page lets you back up the running-config, startup-config, or default-config file. The file types are:
running-config: A virtual file that represents the currently active configuration on the switch. This file is volatile.
startup-config: The startup-config is a versioned persistent file. The current firmware release uses the latest
startup-config file version, whereas previous releases generally use an older startup-config file. If an older
firmware release was previously running on your switch, then the switch might contain two separate startup-
config files—one created by the current release and one created by a previous release.
If the current version startup-config file doesn't exist at boot time, the switch will load a previous version
startup-config if present. If no startup-config file exists at boot, then the switch will start up using the last
running config. An older startup-config file might not have all the settings used by newer firmware.
For example, a startup-config for release 2.0.x does not contain VLAN settings. And so, it is important to save a
new startup-config file as soon as you have established a running configuration that you want to keep.
A new switch has no startup-config file, and so it will start up in default configuration. The startup configuration
for the switch is 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.
Parameter descriptions:
Protocol : Select tftp or scp at the dropdown:
tftp : Select TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) to back up or restore the specified file (un-secure).
scp : Select SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) to back up or restore the specified file using SCP which is based
on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. An SCP client program must also be configured and running.
Type config : At the dropdown select running-config, startup-config, or default-config as the type of file to be
backed up.
IP : Enter the IP address of the TFTP or SCP server. The server must be configured and running.
