STEP 2 If required, disable Auto Mirror Configuration. This disables the automatic
creation of mirror configuration files. When disabling this feature, the mirror
configuration file, if it exists, is deleted. See System Files for a description of
mirror files and why you might not want to automatically create mirror
configuration files.
STEP 3 If required, select either the Startup Configuration, Backup Configuration or both
and click Clear Files to delete these files.
Copy/Save Configuration
When you click Apply on any window, changes that you made to the device
configuration settings are stored only in the Running Configuration. To preserve
the parameters in the Running Configuration, the Running Configuration must be
copied to another configuration type or saved on another device.
!
CAUTION Unless the Running Configuration is copied to the Startup Configuration or another
configuration file, all changes made since the last time the file was copied are lost
when the device is rebooted.
The following combinations of copying internal file types are allowed:
• From the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration or Backup
Configuration.
• From the Startup Configuration to the Running Configuration, Startup
Configuration or Backup Configuration.
• From the Backup Configuration to the Running Configuration, Startup
Configuration or Backup Configuration.
• From the Mirror Configuration to the Running Configuration, Startup
Configuration or Backup Configuration.
To copy one type of configuration file to another type of configuration file:
STEP 1 Click Administration > File Management > Copy/Save Configuration.
STEP 2 Select the Source File Name to be copied. Only valid file types are displayed
(described in the Files and File Types section).
STEP 3 Select the Destination File Name to be overwritten by the source file.
