the same settings as when the device is powered down or rebooted. The Startup file is
created by copying the configuration commands from the Running Configuration file or the
Backup Configuration file.
•
Running Configuration File — Contains all configuration file commands, as well as all
commands entered during the current session. After the device is powered down or
rebooted, all commands stored in the Running Configuration file are lost. During the startup
process, all commands in the Startup file are copied to the Running Configuration File and
applied to the device. During the session, all new commands entered are added to the
commands existing in the Running Configuration file. Commands are not overwritten. To
update the Startup file, before powering down the device, the Running Configuration file
must be copied to the Startup Configuration file. The next time the device is restarted, the
commands are copied back into the Running Configuration file from the Startup
Configuration file.
•
Backup Configuration File — Contains a backup copy of the device configuration. The
Backup file is generated when the Running Configuration file or the Startup file is copied to
the Backup file. The commands copied into the file replaces the existing commands saved in
the Backup file. The Backup file contents can be copied to either the Running configuration
or the Startup Configuration files.
