Compressing Configuration Files
The functionality to optimize and reduce the sizes of the configuration files is supported on the device.
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.
Two existing exec mode CLIs are enhanced to display and store the running configuration in the compressed mode.
show running-config compressed and write memory compressed
The compressed configuration will group all the similar looking configuration thereby reducing the size of the configuration. For this
release, the compression will be done only for interface related configuration (VLAN & physical interfaces)
The following table describes how the standard and the compressed configuration differ:
