Chapter 1 Managing the CSS Software Using the Running-Config and Startup-Config Files Using the Running-Config and Startup-Config Files When you make configuration changes, the CSS places those changes in a virtual running configuration file (running-config). Before you log out or reboot the CSS, you must copy the contents of the running-config file to the startup-config file (startup-config) to save configuration changes. The CSS uses the startup configuration file on subsequent reboots. This section includes the following topics: • Saving the Running-Config to the Startup-Config File • Copying the Running- and Startup-Config Files • Clearing the Running-Config and Startup-Config Files • Showing the Running Configuration • Showing the Startup Configuration • Creating a Running-Config or Startup-Config File Using a Text Editor • Finding an IP Address in the Running-Config File Saving the Running-Config to the Startup-Config File To save the running-config file to the startup-config file on the CSS disk, use one of the following commands: • copy running-config startup-config - Copies the contents of the running-config file to the startup-config file. The CSS uses the startup configuration upon reboot. If you do not copy the contents of the running-config file to the startup-config file before you reboot, changes to the running configuration are lost. This command is available in SuperUser mode. • write memory - Copies the contents of the running-config file to the startup-config file (similar to the copy running-config startup-config command). In addition, the write memory command also archives the startup configuration file to the archive directory on the CSS (similar to the archive startup-config command, see the "Archiving Files to the Archive Directory" section).
