The switch stores its configuration in a number of text files in CLI format. The files are
either virtual (RAM-based) or stored in flash on the switch.
The available files are:
running-config: A virtual file that represents the currently active configuration on the
switch. This file is volatile.
startup-config: The startup configuration for the switch, read at boot time. If this file
doesn't exist at boot time, the switch will start up in default configuration.
default-config: A read-only file with vendor-specific configuration. This file is read when
the system is restored to default settings.
Up to 99 other files, typically used for configuration backups or alternative
configurations.
