Step 1
more system:running-config
Example:
primary# more system:running-config
(If there is a configuration migration) The output shows the
configuration on the terminal so that you can back up your
configuration. Copy the output from this command, then paste the
configuration in to a text file.
Note If you are upgrading from a pre-8.3 version, then the
running configuration is backed up automatically.
For other methods of backing up, see the configuration guide.
