Managing Files
The File Management page device allows network managers to manage device software, the Image Files, and the Configuration Files. Files can be
downloaded from a TFTP server.
File Management Overview
The configuration file structure consists of the following files:
Startup Configuration File—Retains the exact device configuration when the device is powered down or rebooted. The Startup file maintains
l
configuration commands, and configuration commands from the Running Configuration file can be saved to the Startup file.
Running Configuration File—Contains all Startup file commands, as well as all commands entered during the current session. After the device is powered
l
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.
NOTE:
Configuration commands are merged with the Running Configuration file and are immediately applied to the device.
Backup Configuration File—Contains a backup copy of the device configuration. The Backup file changes when the Running Configuration file or the
l
Startup file is copied to the Backup file. The commands copied into the file replace 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.
Image Files—System images are saved in two FLASH files called images (Image 1 and Image 2). The active image stores the active copy, while the
l
other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the active image. If the active image is corrupt, the system automatically boots from
the non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the software upgrade process.
