Configuration Display
To avoid duplicate configuration, you can use the display commands to view the current configuration
of the device before configuring the device. The configurations of a device fall into the following
categories:
z Factory defaults: When devices are shipped, they are installed with some basic configurations,
which are called factory defaults. These default configurations ensure that a device can start up
and run normally when it has no configuration file or the configuration file is damaged.
z Current configuration: The currently running configuration on the device.
z Saved configuration: Configurations saved in the startup configuration file.
Follow these steps to display device configurations:
