Section 13. Managing System Files File maintenance on the device includes configuration file management and device access. The configuration file structure consists of the following configuration files:  Startup configuration file - Contains the commands required to reconfigure the device to 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.  Image files - Software upgrades are used when a new version file is downloaded. The file is checked for the right format, and that it is complete. After a successful download, the new version is marked, and is used after the device is reset.

Managing System Files

File maintenance on the device includes configuration file management and device access. The configuration file structure

consists of the following conﬁguration ﬁles:

Startup conﬁguration ﬁle

— Contains the commands required to reconﬁgure the device to 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.

Image ﬁles

— Software upgrades are used when a new version ﬁle is downloaded. The ﬁle is checked for the right

format, and that it is complete. After a successful download, the new version is marked, and is used after the device is

reset.
