Uncompressed config size – 52 lines
write memory compressed
The write memory compressed CLI will write the operating configuration to the startup-config file in the compressed mode. In
stacking scenario, it will also take care of syncing it to all the standby and member units.
The following is the sample output:

copy compressed-config
Copy one file, after optimizing and reducing the size of the configuration file, to another location. Dell EMC Networking OS
supports IPv4 and IPv6 addressing for FTP, TFTP, and SCP (in the hostip field).
Discard Counters
The Dell Networking OS discard counters counts the packets or frames which are legitimate but dropped due to lack of
operation of the higher layer protocol. The discard counters do not count the errors such as runts, giants, throttles, CRC,
overrun, underrun, symbol error, etc.
For example, when an OSPF packet is received on a switch which has OSPF disabled, the packet gets dropped due to filter
processor (FP) entry and the discard counter gets incremented. However, the packets that are forwarded to the CPU are
dropped at the interface level and a copy of the packet is forwarded to the CPU. Therefore, the discard counter is increased
when a packet matches an FP entry, irrespective of the action defined in the FP entry to avoid pipeline processing in the
hardware.
