View Configuration Files

Configuration files have three commented lines at the beginning of the file, as shown in the following

example, to help you track the last time any user made a change to the file, which user made the

changes, and when the file was last saved to the startup-configuration.

In the running-configuration file, if there is a difference between the timestamp on the “Last

configuration change,” and “Startup-config last updated,” you have made changes that have not been

saved and will not be preserved after a system reboot.

Example of the show running-config Command

Dell#show running-config

Compressing Configuration Files

The functionality to optimize and reduce the sizes of the configuration files is supported on the platform.

You can compress the running configuration by grouping all the VLANs and the physical interfaces with

the same property. Support to store the operating configuration to the startup config in the compressed

mode and to perform an image downgrade without any configuration loss are provided.

You can create groups of VLANs using the interface group command. This command will create

non-existant VLANs specified in a range. On successful command execution, the CLI switches to the

interface group context. The configuration commands inside the group context will be the similar to that

of the existing range command.
