Figure 9-2: Local Memory Regions in SmartWare
As shown in Figure 9-2 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 mentioned, within the same memory region any configuration file needs a unique name so
for example it is not possible to have two configurations files with the name
running-config in the
memory region nvram: .
As you might expect, the
copy command does not move but replicates a selected source to a target
configuration file in the specified memory region. Therefore the source configuration file is not lost
after the copy process. There are three predefined configuration files names for which the
specification of the memory region is optional, namely the files
factory-config , startup-config and
running-config .
Procedure
To copy a specified configuration with another name in local memory
Mode
Administrator execution
Command Purpose
Step 1 node #copy {factory-config | startup-config
| running-config | nvram: source-name }
nvram: target - name
Copies the selected source configuration
file
source-name as target configuration
file target-name in local memory.
Example: Backing Up the Startup Configuration
The following example shows how to make a backup copy of the startup configuration. In a first step
the
startup-config is copied under the name backup within the flash memory region nvram: .
