Using the Startup and Running Configuration File

Each GSS device tracks the following configurations:
• Startup configuration—The default network configuration. The GSS loads
the startup configuration settings each time you boot the device.
• Running configuration—The network configuration currently in use by the
GSS device.
Typically, the running-config and the startup-config files are identical. Once you
modify a configuration parameter, you must reconcile the two configuration files
in one of the following ways:
• Save the running-config file as the new startup-config file using the copy
running-config startup-config command. The GSS retains any changes to
the network configuration of the device and uses those changes when the GSS
is next rebooted.
• Maintain the startup-config file. In this case, the GSS device uses the
running-config file until you reboot the device. The GSS then discards the
running-config file and restores the startup-config file.
To change the startup-config file for a GSS device:
1. Log in to the CLI, enable privileged EXEC mode, and access global
configuration mode on the device.
gssm1.example.com> enable
gssm1.example.com#
gssm1.example.com# config
gssm1.example.com(config)#
2. Make any desired changes to the GSS configuration. For example, to change
the device host name, use the hostname command in global configuration
mode:
gssm1.example.com(config)# hostname new.example.com
new.example.com(config)#
3. Use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy the current
running-config file as the new startup-config file for the GSS.
new.example.com(config)# copy running-config startup-config
