Configuration Files
Configuration files contain the CLI commands that change the switch from
its default configuration. The switch can maintain three separate
configuration files: startup-config, running-config, and backup-config. The
switch loads the startup-config file when the switch boots. Any configuration
changes that take place after the boot process completes are written to the
running-config file. The backup-config file does not exist until you explicitly
create one by copying an existing configuration file to the backup-config file
or downloading a backup-config file to the switch.
Configuration scripts, which are text files that contains CLI commands, can
also be created.
When you apply (run) a configuration script on the switch, the commands in
the script are executed in the order in which they are written as if you were
typing them into the CLI. The commands that are executed in the
configuration script are added to the running-config file.
You might upload a configuration file from the switch to a remote server for
the following reasons:
• To create a backup copy
• To use the configuration file on another switch
• To manually edit the file
NOTE: You must use the CLI to manage configuration scripts. The configuration
scripting feature is not available from the web interface.
