Scenario 2: Running Configuration Saved to the Working Directory
The network administrator recreates Switch X’s RUNNING CONFIGURATION and immediately saves
the running configuration to the working directory.
In another mishap, the power to the switch is again interrupted. The switch reboots rolls back to the certi-
fied directory. However, since the configuration file was saved to the working directory, that configura-
tion can be retrieved.
This is illustrated in the diagram below:

Scenario 3: Saving the Working to the Certified Directory
After running the modified configuration settings and checking that there are no problems, the network
administrator decides that the modified configuration settings stored in the working directory are
completely reliable. The administrator then decides to save the contents of the working directory to the
certified directory. Once the working directory is saved to the certified directory, the modified configura-
tion is included in a normal reboot.
