ROM only. Switch mandates the path and the name of two boot files to be flash:/boot.rom and
flash:/config.rom.
Configuration file: including start up configuration file and running configuration file. The
distinction between start up configuration file and running configuration file can facilitate the
backup and update of the configurations.
Start up configuration file: refers to the configuration sequence used in switch startup.
Startup configuration file stores in nonvolatile storage, corresponding to the so-called
configuration save. If the device does not support CF, the configuration file stores in FLASH
only, if the device supports CF, the configuration file stores in FLASH or CF, if the device
supports multi-config file, names the configuration file to be .cfg file, the default is startup.cfg. If
the device does not support multi-config file, mandates the name of startup configuration file to
be startup-config.
Running configuration file: refers to the running configuration sequence use in the switch. In
switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the current version, the running
configuration sequence running-config can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by write
command or copy running-config startup-config command, so that the running
configuration sequence becomes the start up configuration file, which is called configuration
save. To prevent illicit file upload and easier configuration, switch mandates the name of
running configuration file to be running-config.
Factory configuration file: The configuration file shipped with switch in the name of
factory-config. Run set default and write, and restart the switch, factory configuration file will
be loaded to overwrite current start up configuration file.
