Chapter 2 Managing the GSS from the CLI
Using the Startup and Running Configuration File
Saving the Startup and Running Configuration Files
To save the running-config file to the startup-config file on the GSS, or to copy
the current startup configuration to a file for use on other devices or for backup
purposes, use one of the following commands:
• copy startup-config disk filename—Copies the GSS device startup
configuration to a named file on the GSS.
• copy running-config disk filename—Copies the GSS device current running
configuration to a named file on the GSS.
• copy running-config startup-config—Copies the GSS device current
running configuration as the new startup configuration.
To copy the GSS device running-configuration or startup configuration:
1. Log in to the CLI of the primary GSSM, standby GSSM, or a GSS device and
enable privileged EXEC mode.
gss1.example.com> enable
gss1.example.com#
2. Use the copy startup-config disk command to copy the current startup
configuration to a file for use on other devices or for backup purposes. The
filename variable specifies the name of the file containing the startup
configuration settings.
gss1.example.com# copy startup-config disk newstartupconfig
Note The primary GSSM backup does not include user files that reside in the
/home directory. If you want to have a secure copy of the GSS
startup-configuration file, use either the secure copy (scp) or ftp
commands to copy the startup-configuration file to another device.
Storing the startup-configuration file in a safe location can save time and
reconfiguration issues in a recovery situation.
3. Use the copy running-config disk command to copy the GSS device current
running configuration to a named file located on the GSS. The filename
variable specifies the name of the file containing the running configuration
settings.
gss1.example.com# copy running-config newrunningconfig
