How to save and boot from the current configuration
How to save and boot from the current configuration
This section tells you how to save your configuration and run the saved configuration when
the switch starts up.
You can either:
 save the configuration to the switch’s default configuration file (called “default.cfg”). By
default, the switch uses that file at start-up.
 create a new configuration file and set the switch to use the new configuration file at
start-up.
How to save to the default configuration file
Enter Privileged Exec mode and enter the command:
awplus#copy running-config startup-config
The parameter startup-config is a short-cut for the current boot configuration file, which will
be the default configuration file unless you have changed it, as described in the next section.
How to create and use a new configuration file
Enter Privileged Exec mode and enter the command:
awplus#copy running-config <filename>.cfg
Example To save the current configuration in a file called example.cfg, enter the command
awplus#copy running-config example.cfg
To run the new file’s configuration when the switch starts up, enter Global Configuration
mode and enter the command:
awplus(config)#boot config-file <filename>.cfg
Example To run the commands in example.cfg on startup, enter the command
awplus(config)#boot config-file example.cfg
1. Copy the current configuration to a new file
2. Set the switch to use the new file at startup
