Copying the Running Configuration to the Working Directory
Once the switch has booted and is running, a user can modify various parameters of switch functionality.
These changes are stored temporarily in the running configuration in the RAM of the switch. In order to
save these changes, the running configuration must be saved to the working directory as shown:
In this diagram:
1 The switch boots from the certified directory, and the software is loaded to the RAM to create a
running configuration.
2 Changes are made in the running configuration and are saved to the working directory.
Now the boot.cfg file in the running configuration and the boot.cfg file in the working directory are identi-
cal. Should the switch go down or reboot, the configuration changes made can be restored.
Note. If the switch is rebooted at this point in the process, since the certified and working directory
boot.cfg files are not the same, the switch will boot and run from the certified directory. (See “Where is
the Switch Running From?” on page 4-4 for a description of this process.)
The modifications made to the functionality of the switch are recorded in the running configuration, in the
RAM. These changes in the RAM are only valid until the switch is rebooted. At that time, the switch
reboots from the certified directory. If the running configuration is not saved to the working directory
before a reboot, then the changes made in the running configuration are lost. To save these changes, it is
necessary to save the contents of the running configuration to the working directory.
