copy running-config startup-config duplicate

Dell Networking OS Behavior: If you create a startup-configuration on an RPM and then move the RPM

to another chassis, the startup-configuration is stored as a backup file (with the extension .bak), and a

new, empty startup-configuration file is created. To restore your original startup-configuration in this

situation, overwrite the new startup-configuration with the original one using the copy startup-

config.bak startup-config command.
