Uploading Configuration Files by Using SNMP

agentTransferUploadFileName object must be set to the local filename,
which is either startup-config or backup-config.

How Is the Running Configuration Saved?

Changes you make to the switch configuration while the switch is operating
are written to the running-config. These changes are not automatically
written to the startup-config. When you reload the switch, the startup-config
file is loaded. If you reload the switch (or if the switch resets unexpectedly),
any settings in the running-config that were not explicitly saved to the
startup-config are lost. You must save the running-config to the startup-
config to ensure that the settings you configure on the switch are saved across
a switch reset.
To save the running-config to the startup-config by using the web-based
interface, click (the save icon), which is available at the top of each page.
To save the running-config to the startup-config from the CLI, use the write
command.
