172 Configuring System Information
• Copy a configuration file to the Running Configuration file. It is
important to be aware that copying a file to the Running Configuration

already defined on the system).
• Restore configuration factory defaults.

1
Click System > File Management > Copy Files in the tree view to display
the

Configuration file of the device or vice versa, select

–
Source — Select either the Running Configuration or the Startup
Configuration file.
–
Destination — Select either the Running Configuration, Startup
Configuration file or user-created flash files, depending on the source
configuration file.
or
