• Mirror Configuration—A copy of the Startup Configuration, created by the 
switch when the following conditions exist:
- The switch has been operating continuously for 24 hours.
- No configuration changes have been made to the Running Configuration 
in the previous 24 hours.
- The Startup Configuration is identical to the Running configuration. 
Only the system can copy the Startup Configuration to the Mirror 
Configuration. However, you can copy from the Mirror Configuration to other 
file types or to another device. 
If the switch is rebooted, the Mirror Configuration is reset to the factory 
default parameters. In all other aspects, the Mirror Configuration functions 
the same as a Backup Configuration, providing a copy of the parameter 
values that is preserved if the switch is rebooted.

displayed in the selected language.
