• Running Configuration File - Contains all Startup Configuration file commands, as well as all commands entered during the current session. After the switch module is powered down or rebooted, all commands stored in the Running Configuration file are lost. During the startup process, all commands in the Startup Configuration file are copied to the Running Configuration file and applied to the switch module. 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 Configuration file, before powering down the switch module, the Running Configuration file must be copied to the Startup Configuration file. The next time the switch module 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 switch module configuration. The Backup Configuration file is generated when the Running Configuration file or the startup configuration file is copied to the Backup Configuration file. The commands copied into the file replace the existing commands saved in the Backup Configuration file. The Backup Configuration file contents can be copied to either the Running Configuration or the Startup Configuration files. • Image Files - System file images are saved in two Flash Files called Image 1 and Image 2. The active image stores the active copy, while the other image stores a second copy. The switch module boots and runs from the active image. If the active image is corrupted, the system automatically boots from the non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the Software Upgrade process.
