Configuration file handling task list

SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 

You can copy the current running configuration into the persistent memory region nvram: under a user-speci-
fied name, if you want to preserve that configuration.

In addition, an already existing configuration is usually copied into the persistent memory region nvram: by 
using a user-specified name, for conservation or later activation.

As shown in 

 the local memory regions are identified by their unique names, like nvram:, which is 

located in flash memory, and system:, which is the system RAM, i.e. the volatile memory. As already men-
tioned, configuration files in the same memory region need a unique name. For example, it is not possible to 
have two configuration files with the name running-config in the memory region nvram:. 

As you might expect, the 

 command does not move but replicates a selected source to a target configura-

tion file in the specified memory region. Therefore the source configuration file is not lost after the copy pro-
cess. There are three predefined configuration file names for which it is optional to specify the memory region, 
namely factory-config, startup-config and running-config. 

Mode: Administrator execution

Example: Backing up the startup configuration

The following example shows how to make a backup copy of the startup configuration. It is copied under the 
name backup into the flash memory region nvram:.

node#copy startup-config nvram:backup

It is possible to replace the startup configuration by a configuration that is already present in the flash memory. 
You can do so by copying it to the area of the flash memory where the startup configuration is stored.

Mode: Administrator execution

The configuration backup can be a previously backed up configuration or 
previously downloaded from a TFTP server.

Copies the selected source configuration file 
source-name as target configuration file target-
name into the local memory.

Replaces the existing persistent startup con-
figuration with the startup configuration 
backup already present in flash memory.
