to the device "running configuration". The configuration is added to the "running configuration" as if the

combination of the previous "running configuration" and the loaded "configuration file", with the loaded
"configuration file" having precedence.

the device "startup configuration". These commands replace the startup configuration file with the copied
configuration file.
Storing the Running or Startup Configuration on a Server

network server using TFTP. Use the copy startup-config destination-url command to copy the "startup
configuration" file to a network server.

"startup configuration".
