To display the contents of the startup-configuration file associated with the
current context, use the show startup-config command in Exec mode (see the
“Viewing Configuration Files” section).
When you make configuration changes, the A
CE places those changes in a virtual
running-configuration file called the running-config, which is associated with the
context that you are working in. When you enter a CLI command, the change is
made only to the running-configuration file in volatile memory. Before you log
out or reboot the ACE, copy the contents of the running-configuration file to the
startup-configuration file (startup-config) to save configuration changes for the
current context to Flash memory. The ACE uses the startup-configuration file on
subsequent reboots.
This section contains the following topics:
• Saving the Configuration File in Flash Memory
• Saving Configuration Files to a Remote Server
• Copying the Configuration File to the disk0: File System
• Merging the Startup-Configuration File with the Running-Configuration File
• Viewing Configuration Files
• Viewing User Context Running-Config Files from the Admin Context
• Clearing the Startup-Configuration File
