If the destination is running-config, the file will be applied to the switch configuration. 
This can be done in two ways:  
•  Replace mode: The current configuration is fully replaced with the configuration in 
the uploaded file. 
•  Merge mode: The uploaded file is merged into running-config. 
If the file system is full (i.e., it contains the system files mentioned above plus two other 
files), it is not possible to create new files unless an existing file is overwritten or 
another is deleted first. 
Configuration activate 
The Activate Configuration page permits activation of the startup-config and default-
config files on the switch.  
 
It is possible to activate any of the configuration files present on the switch, except for 
running-config which represents the currently active configuration. 
Select the file to activate and click Activate Configuration. This initiates the process of 
completely replacing the existing configuration with that of the selected file.
