Copy Configuration
The configuration files control the operation of the switch, and contain the
functional settings at the device and the port level. Configuration files are one of
the following types:
• Factory Default — Contains preset default parameter definitions which are
downloaded with a new or upgraded version.
• Running Configuration — Contains the parameter definitions currently defined
on the device. This includes any configuration changes made since the device
was started or rebooted.
• Starting configuration — Contains the commands required to reconfigure the
device to the same settings as when the device is powered down or rebooted.
• Backup configuration — Contains a copy of the system configuration for
protection against system shutdown, or for maintenance of a specific operating
state.
File names cannot contain slashes (\ or /), the leading letter of the file name should
not be a period (.), and the maximum length for file names on the TFTP server is
127 characters or 31 characters for files on the switch. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z,
0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”).
