This example shows how to store a startup configuration file on a server:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# ip rcmd remote-username netadmin2
Switch(config)# end
Switch# copy nvram:startup-config rcp:
Remote host[]? 172.16.101.101
Name of configuration file to write [switch2-confg]?
Write file switch2-confg on host 172.16.101.101?[confirm]
![OK]
Clearing Configuration Information
You can clear the configuration information from the startup configuration. If you reboot the switch with no
startup configuration, the switch enters the setup program so that you can reconfigure the switch with all new
settings.
Clearing the Startup Configuration File
To clear the contents of your startup configuration, use the erase nvram: or the erase startup-config privileged
EXEC command.
You cannot restore the startup configuration file after it has been deleted.Note
Deleting a Stored Configuration File
To delete a saved configuration from flash memory, use the delete flash:filename privileged EXEC command.
Depending on the setting of the file prompt global configuration command, you might be prompted for
confirmation before you delete a file. By default, the switch prompts for confirmation on destructive file
operations. For more information about the file prompt command, see the Cisco IOS Command Reference
for Release 12.4.
You cannot restore a file after it has been deleted.Note
Replacing and Rolling Back Configurations
The configuration replacement and rollback feature replaces the running configuration with any saved Cisco
IOS configuration file. You can use the rollback function to roll back to a previous configuration.

Configuration Archive
The Cisco IOS configuration archive is intended to provide a mechanism to store, organize, and manage an
archive of Cisco IOS configuration files to enhance the configuration rollback capability provided by the
configure replace command. Before this feature was introduced, you could save copies of the running
