Configuration Dump
The dump program writes the current switch configuration to the terminal screen. To start the
dump program, at the prompt, enter:
The configuration is displayed with parameters that have been changed from the default val-
ues. The screen display can be captured, edited, and placed in a script file, which can be used to
configure other switches through a Telnet connection. When using Telnet to configure a new
switch, paste the configuration commands from the script file at the command line prompt of
the switch. The active configuration can also be saved or loaded via TFTP, as described on
page 189.
Saving the Active Switch Configuration
When the copy running-config tftp command is used, the switch’s active configura-
tion commands (as displayed using show running-config) will be uploaded to the spec-
ified script configuration file on the TFTP server. To start the switch configuration upload, at
the prompt, enter:
Restoring the Active Switch Configuration
When the copy tftp active-config command is used, the active configuration will be
replaced with the commands found in the specified configuration file. The file can contain a
full switch configuration or a partial switch configuration.
To start the switch configuration download, at the prompt, enter:
G8124(config)# show running-config
G8124(config)# copy running-config {tftp}
G8124# copy tftp active-config
