Save the Running-Conguration
The running-conguration contains the current system conguration. Dell Networking recommends coping your running-conguration to
the startup-conguration.
The system uses the startup-conguration during boot-up to congure the system. The startup-conguration is stored in the internal ash
on the IOM by default, but you can save it to a USB ash device or a remote server.
The commands in this section follow the same format as those commands in the Copy Files to and from the System section but use the
lenames startup-cong and running-cong. These commands assume that current directory is the internal ash, which is the system
default.
• Save the running-cong to the startup-conguration on the internal ash.
EXEC Privilege mode
copy running-config startup-config
• Save the running-conguration on the IOM.
EXEC Privilege mode
copy running-config usbflash://filename
• Save the running-conguration to an FTP server.
EXEC Privilege mode
copy running-config ftp:// username:password@{hostip | hostname}/filepath/ filename
• Save the running-conguration to a TFTP server.
EXEC Privilege mode
copy running-config tftp://{hostip | hostname}/ filepath/filename
• Save the running-conguration to an SCP server.
EXEC Privilege mode
copy running-config scp://{hostip | hostname}/ filepath/filename
NOTE
: When copying to a server, you can only use a host name if you have congured a DNS
server.
• Save the running-conguration to the startup-conguration on the internal ash of the primary RPM. Then copy the new startup-
cong le to the external ash of the primary RPM.
EXEC Privilege mode
copy running-config startup-config duplicate
Dell Networking OS Behavior: If you create a startup-conguration on an RPM and then move the RPM to another chassis, the startup-
conguration is stored as a backup le (with the extension .bak), and a new, empty startup-conguration le is created. To restore your
original startup-conguration in this situation, overwrite the new startup-conguration with the original one using the copy startup-
config.bak startup-config
command.
NOTE
: When you load the startup conguration or a conguration le from a network server such as TFTP to the running
conguration, the conguration is added to the running conguration. This does not replace the existing running conguration.
Commands in the conguration le has precedence over commands in the running conguration.
