Saving the Running-Configuration

The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Dell Networking recommends

coping your running-configuration to the startup-configuration.

The system uses the startup-configuration during boot-up to configure the system. The startup-

configuration is stored in the internal flash on the IOM by default, but you can save the startup-

configuration to a USB flash device or on a remote server.

NOTE: The commands in this section follow the same format as those in Copying Files to and from

the System but use the filenames startup-configuration and running-configuration. These

commands assume that current directory is the internal flash, which is the system default.

• Save the running-configuration to the startup-configuration on the internal flash.
