4.2.19 Configuration Download
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.
There are three system files:
• 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.
• default-config: A read-only file with vendor-specific configuration. This file is read when the system is
restored to default settings.
It is also possible to store up to two other files and apply them to running-config, thereby switching
configuration.
