Working with Configuration Files
There are four kinds of configuration files:
» running-config – a virtual file containing the currently running system configuration.
» startup-config – contains the boot-time configuration. When configuration is changed, it must
be copied to startup-config in order to be applied at the next boot.
» default-config – a read-only file used when configuration is restored to defaults. This file is
also used if startup-config is missing. It contains product-specific customizations to the default
settings of the device.
» User-defined – configuration files created by the user (up to 31). These are typically used for
backups or variants of startup-config.
All of these except running-config are stored in the flash file system. The available operations are:
copy source destination
where source and destination can be one of:
» running-config
» startup-config (or flash:startup-config)
» flash:filename
» tftp://server[:port]/path-to-file
dir
List the contents of the flash file system. more flash: filename
Outputs the contents of the file to the terminal.
flash: filename
