Chapter 2 Managing the GSS from the CLI

Using the Startup and Running Configuration File

When you make device configuration changes, the GSS places those changes in a

virtual running configuration file (called running-config). Before you log out or

reboot the GSS, you must copy the contents of the running-config file to the

startup-configuration file (called startup-config) to save configuration changes.

The GSS uses the startup-config file on subsequent reboots.

This section includes the following procedures:

• Changing the Startup and Running Configuration Files

• Saving the Startup and Running Configuration Files

• Loading the Startup Configuration from an External File

• Displaying the Running-Config File

• Displaying the Startup-Config File
