Save the Running-Configuration
The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Dell Force10 recommends copying
your running-configuration to the startup-configuration. The system uses the startup-configuration during
boot-up to configure the system. The startup-configuration is stored in the internal flash on the IOM by
default, but you can save the startup-configuration to a USB flash device or on a remote server.
To save the running-configuration:
Note: The commands in this section follow the same format as those in Copy Files to and from the
System on page 45 but use the filenames startup-config and running-config. These commands assume
that current directory is the internal flash, which is the system default.
