EXEC Commands
Startup Configuration
You cannot edit a startup configuration directly. All commands that you enter store themselves in the
running configuration, which you can copy into the startup configuration.
In other words, when you boot an ACS server, the startup configuration becomes the initial running
configuration. As you modify the configuration, the two diverge: the startup configuration remains the
same; the running configuration reflects the changes that you have made. If you want to make your
changes permanent, you must copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.
The following command lines show some of the copy command scenarios available:
copy running-configuration startup-configuration
Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration. Replaces the startup-configuration with
the running configuration.
Note If you do not save the running configuration, you will lose all your configuration changes during the next
reboot of the ACS server. Once you are satisfied that the current configuration is correct, copy your
configuration to the startup configuration with the preceding command.
copy startup-configuration running-configuration
Copies the startup configuration to the running configuration. Merges the startup configuration on top
of the running configuration.
copy [protocol://hostname/location] startup-configuration
Copies but does not merge a remote file to the startup configuration.
copy [protocol://hostname/location] running-configuration
Copies and merges a remote file to the running configuration.
copy startup-configuration [protocol://hostname/location]
Copies the startup configuration to a remote system.
copy running-configuration [protocol://hostname/location]
Copies the running configuration to a remote system.
copy logs [protocol://hostname/location]
Copies log files from the system to another location.
Note The copy command is supported only for the local disk and not for a repository.
