View Conguration Files

Conguration les have three commented lines at the beginning of the le, as shown in the following example, to help you track the last

time any user made a change to the le, which user made the changes, and when the le was last saved to the startup-conguration.

In the running-conguration le, if there is a dierence between the timestamp on the “Last conguration change” and “Startup-cong last

updated,” you have made changes that have not been saved and are preserved after a system reboot.

Example of the show running-config Command

Dell#show running-config

Compressing Conguration Files

You can optimize and reduce the sizes of the conguration les.

You can compress the running conguration by grouping all the VLANs and the physical interfaces with the same property. Support to

store the operating conguration to the startup cong in the compressed mode and to perform an image downgrade without any

conguration loss are provided.

You can create groups of VLANs using the interface group command. This command will create nonexistent VLANs specied in a

range. On successful command execution, the CLI switches to the interface group context. The conguration commands inside the group

context will be the similar to that of the existing range command.

Two existing exec mode CLIs are enhanced to display and store the running conguration in the compressed mode.

show running-config compressed and write memory compressed

The compressed conguration will group all the similar looking conguration thereby reducing the size of the conguration. For this release,

the compression will be done only for interface related conguration (VLAN & physical interfaces)
